Great job! We followed your directions and we had the same piece broken. Ours was in 2 pieces so we Gorilla glued those back together and waited 24 hrs. before continuing the fix. Zip ties worked great. We reinstalled the visor and crossed our fingers. Hopefully it will hold for a long time. The toughest part was getting the cover off to get to the screws. Even though we were careful we still ended up breaking the cover in 2 places. Gorilla glued them back on and waited 24 hrs before reinstalling. The cover snapped back in place. Thank you for posting this video.
Hello Robert, just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate this video on the Nissan visor repair. My Nissan had the EXACT issue with almost the exact break in the clip. After watching your video I was able to duplicate the repair with the zip ties. You saved me a ton of money and I'm so grateful for your time you spent posting this video. Take care and thanks again!!
Robert - that was an awesome video - you have saved us over $500 Australian dollars for new ones or a trip to the wreckers,! The video shows exactly what we found and the cable ties went in just as shown. Love the tips on being patient and easing the visors open - very useful. Really appreciate the time you took to make video.
Paid the dealer 275 to fix dangling driver visor. One week later the passenger visor did the same thing. This video saved me hundreds. Thank you for taking the time to post. From start to finish it took me less than 15 minutes.
Thanks, Robert! I just used your technique to fix my wife's pathfinder. There was 5 broken pieces of plastic inside. It broke such that the mechanism was on the same side as the vanity mirror. So I had to cut the plastic ring holding the mechanism in place so I could move it, carefully, to the other side so I could zip tie it up. Works well now. Thanks!!!
After watching your video and seeing what mine might look like on the inside (2013 Murano), I simply drilled a hole through that area and secured with a nut, bolt and a couple of washers. Works perfectly.
Worked like a charm!! Thank you so much. Great step by step instructions, photos/video, everything. Right down to the size of the screws. You made this so easily do-able. I was so frustrated with that thing not staying in place. You are my hero!
Robert - thanks for posting; much appreciated. I had the analogous problem on a Nissan Murano. Due to its slightly different design, I had to use 4 small zip ties (instead of 2 'regular' ones that you used), and I had to rip stitches and resew the fabric back around the visor. I chuckled at your comment at 7:02 about the 'poor design' with respect to the wiring. Thanks again - cheers,
Thank you. Had the dealer replace 3 of these and all 3 broke. This is the best how-to video I've seen so far. Was gonna ask if it was still usable but I had seen that it was.
Thank you, Mr. Bencsko! I appreciate you taking the time to make this video. My little tab cover broke but that's a cheap part to replace compared to the visor itself.
Thank you so much for your video. It was right on point for my SUV. I have an Infiniti JX35. All the same. I was able to fix my sun visor with your assistance and zip ties. It was very easy. In my opinion, the hardest part was removing the screw cover. Saved me money. Thanks again.
Thank you thank you thank you.. just picked up a used Pathfinder and this is one of the things the dealer did not take care of and I was able to do it in about 15 minutes. Great video!
Cannot thank you enough!! It’s been driving me nuts, and the dealership (Edison Nissan in NJ) wanted to charge me $480 to fix with a bumper to bumper warranty because they weren’t unusable. Such a joke. Thank you!
Thanks Robert, I managed to get three zip ties on mine. Heh, heh. Just for the heck of it I checked with the local dealer and he told me $300.00. Didn't even hesitate, I think he's heard of this problem before. Thanks again, much appreciated.
Thank you for the video. If anyone else thinking of trying this fix, two things I noticed when I did it: 1) for the cover that hides the mounting screws, if you think of it as a D shape, the two side tabs are right beside the points, and 2) I used a teaspoon to pry open the two halves of the visor
Thank you so much Robert after watching your video I had the courage and insight to have a go at fixing my sun visors . My only variation was that I also wired them as well as using the ties thanks again and please do more videos you are such a blessing!
are you kidding... man wow thank you so much. Literally the most annoying thing ever and this worked 100%. Everyone just be careful taking off the plastic cover and also taking apart the video itself but otherwise this is straightforward. Amazing. Thank you Robert
Saw this fix for the '13 Pathfinder. Mine has the same problem and is a '15 and just slightly different than the '13, but still close. So, since the dealer wants $217 for a new one, I tried your method. Worked like a charm. A little bit off since the bracket didn't want to fit exactly flat, so the visor dosen't work perfectly every time but close to perfect. Thanks so much for posting this video!
Creo que soy el unico de mexico gracias amigo por este video me ayudo bastante en 30 min se arreglo el problema y mis tapitas también salieron en dos partes se quebraron pero las pegue GRACIAS
Thanks so much 2015 Pathfinder visor is now repaired. Just took my time with being very careful and patient with the separation. One difference is that the arm was trapped by a piece of plastic, but I was still able to feed the cable ties through and pull them nice and tight. Thank you for your directions.
Thanks so much for your detailed explanation and great videotaping. After paying for the driver-side fix at the dealership, got smart and UA-camd. Thanks for not having me pay twice!!
Dude! Perfect video. I just fixed both of my visors this evening in an hour. Finally, they’re not flopping and are secure to the roof. Unfortunately I wasn’t quite soft enough and snapped a cap in half. I’d rather pay for a cap vs. two more junky sun visors. Thanks again for the vid, saved me a ton!!
Thank YOU! This worked great and my wife’s visor works great now. Hardest part was removing the screw head cover - mine broke into two pieces but I was able to tack them back in place with a little epoxy. Too bad Nissan didn’t think to make the clip mechanism from the same material as this cover :)
Great informative video. Thank you. After taking mine apart successfully I found the plastic around the metal clip you zip-tied was completely broken. Found a new one on an online auction site for one hundred dollars buy now. I appreciate the advice. Ps I laughed at your video as I am amazed at your ingenuity to fix this but hear the Smoke detector chirping in the background. I hope you had time to fix that too!

Thanks! It worked great. Nissan clearly has a problem with both the pathfinder and the QX60. I have the QX60 and it is exactly the same fix. Thanks Again - works perfect
Thanks for your video, had to make a slight modification due to how it was broken , but the zip ties work great on my 20014 Pathfinder. Looks like I will need to repair the other side soon. Thanks again for sharing your fix.
Thanks job done. My visor was broken on the on the other side in side. re watched your video snapped the bit that stopped me fitting it like yours. works prefect.
Awesome video. Had the exact same problem on my wife’s 2015 pathfinder. Mine broke a little bit differently but essentially I use the same steps he described in the video.
Mine eventually did break again just recently so it looks like I'll be out the $200. I hope they improved the new ones some over the ones I have but time will tell.
Save yourself so.e trouble and order them on Amazon, they are 50 bucks for the whole thing. If you don't want to spend the money this guys fix is awesome.
Thanks for the great fix! It worked on my Infinity QX60's visor. I'll never buy a Nissan/Infiniti vehicle again. Too many instances of sloppy engineering.
Thank you so much Robert for your video, it was very helpful and very detailed. Again thanks for allowing us save about $180.00 which is the average cost in the Nissan Dealer. I think that Nissan should rethink the way the built some of the parts for our cars.
Works great, any suggestions on how to fix the liner in the top when the damn clip was being stubborn and my screwdriver slipped. Still a great fix and thanks.
Brilliant. Fixed mine. There were certainly a few more bits of black plastic floating around in there than in your case but it's back in the car and hard up against the roof, yay!!!!. Will use very sparingly in future me thinks.......
Came here to see how this visor comes apart. Im going to recover mine (the cloth is literally deteriorating) with suede to match the new dashmat. Very good video, Thanks!
Thanks ! This hangs down just enough that I hit my big head on it every time I try to see around the pillar or checking mirrors. Do you know if there is a recall for this part? Seems like it could be a dangerous situation.
Great fix it tips, unfortunately, mine broken off the other flap side of the visor, I still managed to zip tie enough to that plastic in fuse mount with the metal bracket and still it work.
Flathead screwdriver, not too small, pry gently at the midpoint of one of the short sides of the cover until the corner tab pops off. The rest is easy. Do NOT pry at the midpoint of the long side; you'll break the tab
Great job! We followed your directions and we had the same piece broken. Ours was in 2 pieces so we Gorilla glued those back together and waited 24 hrs. before continuing the fix.

This is by far the best how to fix tutorial for Nissan Pathfinder visor on youtube. Thank you, Mr. Bencsko!

Thank you!!! I found this video just looking to see how exactly to take the visor off my wife's 13 Pathfinder. I kept watching and was able to fix it!
Thank you. Had the dealer replace 3 of these and all 3 broke. This is the best how-to video I've seen so far. Was gonna ask if it was still usable but I had seen that it was.
Thank you, Mr. Bencsko! I appreciate you taking the time to make this video. My little tab cover broke but that's a cheap part to replace compared to the visor itself.
I just saw your video and after years of complaining about the visor I decided to fix it myself! Thank you so much!!

I just did this in and the visor is practically behaving like new again. Thanks for posting this video!
Thank you, Robert! Saved me a lot of time in discovery. I don't know how we used to fix stuff before the Internet and UA-cam.
Thanks Robert, I managed to get three zip ties on mine. Heh, heh.
Just for the heck of it I checked with the local dealer and he told me $300.00. Didn't even hesitate, I think he's heard of this problem before. Thanks again, much appreciated.

As a follow up, your tutorial did indeed help me fix my problem. Thank you! It worked exactly as you so aptly demonstrated. No more droop!!!!
Thanks for taking the time to put together this video. I'm sharing it with my husband so he can fix my vehicle.
Thank you so much Robert after watching your video I had the courage and insight to have a go at fixing my sun visors . My only variation was that I also wired them as well as using the ties thanks again and please do more videos you are such a blessing!

Thanks for the great fix tip! I was able to fix the passenger side visor on my 2013 Infiniti JX35. The dealer was going to charge $300+ to replace it.
Robert....thank you! I have a 2015 Pathfinder and both visors are now drooping.. Nice job showing this fix! Will be trying out your solution ASAP.

Thank you so much. Finally I was able to fix after trying so many nonsense solutions from UA-cam. Great job. Well done. Cheers man!
Just saved about $400 by watching this video. Nissan couldn’t even get a replacement right now because of supply issues. Thank you for this video!

I appreciate you posting this! Saved my father in law $200!
Great informative video. Thank you. After taking mine apart successfully I found the plastic around the metal clip you zip-tied was completely broken. Found a new one on an online auction site for one hundred dollars buy now.
I appreciate the advice.
Ps I laughed at your video as I am amazed at your ingenuity to fix this but hear the Smoke detector chirping in the background. I hope you had time to fix that too!
Followed your instructions and came up beautiful. Sunvisor was hanging down and wouldn't go back up. Was so annoying.
Thank you service.
Thanks much Robert! Just completed the fix after watching your video. Really appreciate the step by step instructions, made it relatively easy to fix.
Great job on repairing the visor, I used the same steps on our 2013 infinity JX35
Your instructions are so clear and precise, thanks Uso appreciate your time and support. 💯💙
THANK YOU for this. I was getting ready to spend $80 to replace my visor, but the ziptie method worked perfectly!

This fix saved me about $400NZD. Thank you!! One thing I found helpful was to unsolder the wires to the light first by popping out the mirror.
Thanks I'm glad you posted this video. I was just on ebay pricing a set but you saved the day.
Just did this on my 2013 Infiniti JX35 ! Worked like magic ! Saved me 200$ ( CAN ) ! Thanks
Thank you Robert! it worked perfect and saved a bunch. I've gone thru 2 already thats $99+ a piece. Thanks again!
Worked like a charm. 2015 Pathfinder. Thanks for sharing this.
Thanks for taking the time to document this repair. Excellent Job! 👍
Thanks man! I kept putting off fixing this and didn't want to blow the money on a new one. Looks and works great!
Thanks for the video!!! Took me less than 30 minutes to fix my floppy visors on my 14 Pathfinder.
Amazing work. You just saved me $200 as well! There were all kinds of little broken pieces in both of my visors. Zip ties? Who knew? Robert did!
Great video, thank you for posting. Even more impressive that you did most of it one-handed.
Thanks for the great clear instructions. Worked like a charm!
Thanks! It worked great. Nissan clearly has a problem with both the pathfinder and the QX60. I have the QX60 and it is exactly the same fix.
Thanks Again - works perfect
This fix worked like a CHAMP. Thank you, sir!
Thanks for your video, had to make a slight modification due to how it was broken , but the zip ties work great on my 20014 Pathfinder. Looks like I will need to repair the other side soon. Thanks again for sharing your fix.

Thank you so much Robert for your video, it was very helpful and very detailed. Again thanks for allowing us save about $180.00 which is the average cost in the Nissan Dealer. I think that Nissan should rethink the way the built some of the parts for our cars.
Thanks so much for posting this. You saved me almost $130.
Thanks for the help!!! Got mine all finished
Works great, any suggestions on how to fix the liner in the top when the damn clip was being stubborn and my screwdriver slipped. Still a great fix and thanks.
thanks so much....as with everyone else you just saved me some money too. I can't believe how cheaply those parts were made
just fixed both of mine, thank you sir! saved me $500 usd!
Brilliant. Fixed mine. There were certainly a few more bits of black plastic floating around in there than in your case but it's back in the car and hard up against the roof, yay!!!!. Will use very sparingly in future me thinks.......
Thanks so much, I watched your video and fixed my visor.
Came here to see how this visor comes apart. Im going to recover mine (the cloth is literally deteriorating) with suede to match the new dashmat. Very good video, Thanks!
Brother, you just saved me $128.00, Thanks
Thank you for taking the time to share your expertise. I was able to fix mine as well. Love UA-cam!
Thanks ! This hangs down just enough that I hit my big head on it every time I try to see around the pillar or checking mirrors. Do you know if there is a recall for this part? Seems like it could be a dangerous situation.
Great fix it tips, unfortunately, mine broken off the other flap side of the visor, I still managed to zip tie enough to that plastic in fuse mount with the metal bracket and still it work.
Thanks! Great fix. I hope it lasts a long time.
I would've love to see how you took that cover off before getting to the screws. Having a hard getting mine off and I don't wanna break it.
Flathead screwdriver, not too small, pry gently at the midpoint of one of the short sides of the cover until the corner tab pops off. The rest is easy. Do NOT pry at the midpoint of the long side; you'll break the tab
