OT auto sun shade problem

The sun shade in my Nissan Versa won't stay in position - up or down. I tried a magnet but it doesn't work through the roof insulation. I tried velcro but the adhesive doesn't hold and I'd rather not use stronger glue and mar the roof liner. I suspect the cost of, including labor, to replace the shade would be more than I care to pay. I looked on Google but didn't see anything that looked useful,



Any suggestions?



TIA



Try a magnet out of an old hard drive. I bet it will hold.

Are you referring to the visor ?

I can't figure out the fix for theb Honda but the binder clip idea looks good. I tried one I had but it won't open wide enough. Will have to find a larger one. Concept is good. Maybe some other type of clamp will work as well or other. Have to think about this.

Thanks much!

Get used to it - it's a Nissan - - - And you say you "suspect" the cost would be more than you would be willing to pay. Have you checked? The labour is extremely minor - see what the dealer wants, and if it is too much check the wreckers.

$150.

Have you checked eBay? I just looked and there are a number of visors for Nissan Versas selling for $30 - $50. I didn't look for a specific model year or color, I will leave that up to you.

Don't know how to install one. Looks hard. No screws visible where it mounts, just a small plate. However, labor is only $40 so it must be fairly simple. Probably beyond a very old man's capabilites though.

I am in my 90's and think this looks like a piece of cake. Watch this video:

That is a possibility Frank. As Herbert Hoover once said to me, there is no point in declaring the state of your own sanity as there will always be some crazy f*ck willing to disagree with you.

Apparently, you are applying for the job.
