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

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 **** willing to disagree with you.

Apparently, you are applying for the job.

I'd probably just try sliding some kind of rubbery material in around
the support rod to increase the coefficient of friction. Possibly even a
length or 3 of electrical wire with insulation.
