Problem: sunvisor has lost the "detent" notch when returning it from the down position back up to the raised position. As the visor is pushed towards the car ceiling/roof, it goes all the way up, but then it slightly flops down about 1/2 to 3/4" away from the normal position.
Fix: Somehow, presumably with wear, the position or clocking of the detent moves from the original position. Only by a couple of degrees. Remove the visor, put a couple of washers under the mounting point farthest from the windshield. This puts a slight angle on the mounting point and allows the detent to catch (see video below).
The flip-up cover with plastic frame that clips over the visor mirror(s) is held in by 5 tabs.
Especially in sunny area with age the plastic gets brittle and breaks.
The part numbers are below. The price for the cover is ~45 EUR.
The mirror is a separate part.
Make sure to add the 4 digit color code to the part number (7G16 for alpaca gray color).
Part No.
