Should You Fix or Replace Your Sagging Car Sun Visor?

Have you ever been in your car on a sunny day and ran into a sagging car sun visor that just won't stay in place? It's a common problem that many drivers face, and it can be both annoying and potentially unsafe. In this blog post, we'll explore whether you should fix or replace your sagging car sun visor.

Fixing Your Sun Visor

If your sun visor doesn't sag or droop down too severely, repairing it may be the most cost-effective solution. DIY fixes can include using velcro or magnets to hold the visor in place. If the sun visor isn't too heavy, velcro or magnets placed on the visor and attached to the headliner can help hold the visor in the closed position. This option may work better with vinyl and leather sun visor materials, as not all adhesives will stick to cloth material very well. Another potential issue with this method is that cars are known to get very hot when parked in the sun or during the summer months. The exposure to heat can cause adhesives to become sticky and soft causing your repair to fail.
