Sun Visor Replacement - Help Needed

[Rusty2009]

Hi,

My flap has just snapped on the corner of the drivers side sun visor. I tried superglue to repair the hinge, but it's the wrong type of plastic and didn't stick.

I tried removing the sun visor, but the wiring is stuck fast up in the head lining. I can only extract approx. an inch of wiring. Someone mentioned on another forum that I need to drop some of the head lining to get to the electrical connector? Can someone confirm?

A 2nd hand sun visor from ebay for an Astra-J seems a bit pricey. Does anyone know if the mirror dimensions are the same on other Vauxhall sun visors, such as the Vectra-C, Astra-H, etc as they seem cheaper? Or more specifically the flap itself is the same size, as that's all I need, providing I can get the correct colour?

I was wondering if I could get away with just swapping the hinged flap over, rather than replacing the whole sun visor assembly. If it is possible, how hard is it to refit the flap?

Thanks.

You could drop the light unit that will give you hand room rather than dropping the liner.

I think only J and insignia are the same.

I don't think you can just swap flap.

I've found this for £25.
