1983 280 SL drivers side sunvisor.

[W107]

My hamfisted wife has managed to break the flimsy plastic insert which holds the sunvisor in position,as this is an integral part of the visor has any kind person a solution to fix it or does it require a new visor.
Thank you.

I presume that you refer to the little plastic tongue. My understanding is that these are not available -there was a move some years back in the States to manufacture them but I dont know the outcome- you might try..............

who break 107s. Matching your colour might not be so easy as will fitting it. There is a screw or two under the padding on the screen top which I think has to be removed. Is there no way you can glue the bits you have?
These people have a good range of colours but they are €159 + post from Germany. Good company to deal with though.

Take it out the wifes allowance:roll:

Or there is a DIY fix but you'd have to be really handy with a drill and file and not be worried about authenticity.
