    You are the best. I did it. Thanks.
    You covered all the necessary details, the size of the binding post is crucial. Without these details I wouldn't be able to do this.

    This is exactly what I needed, especially since I can't even order a new visor and the list price has gone up anyway!

    Both of 2013 honda Crosstour sun visor broke and thnks to your vid, I fixed it saving me $250 for the replacement of both. Btw my visors could be split open in half, make fixing easier. There are 2 special-head screws on the mirror needs to be removed before it could be split

    Thanks for that, worked like a charm, and I painted the ends to match the sunvisor colour. The post screws are also known as Chicago screws and are available from art supply outlets, 15mm or 5/8 inch, $1 each.

      Chicago screws?
      I was introduced to them as "sex bolts".
      It works googling them.

    Have a Honda Pilot. Visor is floppy for about 20° of rotation then further rotarion is excessively tight.
    I figure the excessively tight spring has spread the plastic, allowing the floppy 20°. The visor is wrapped in fabric so I'll be guessing where to drill holes. I'll test it starting with 1/32" drill bits.

    • @pmtips4482
      @pmtips4482  3 роки тому

      I think I would go ahead and drill near the edge and just go with a small bolt and nut ( you might need 2 or 3)
      Good luck to you and thanks for watching!

    Hello, I might have missed it, but what size drill bit did you use to make the hole into the visor? I’m new to all of this (just came back from the hardware store all nervous lol). Thank you for the video!

    • @pmtips4482
      @pmtips4482  Рік тому +1

      The drill bit size is depending on the threaded post insert. These posts should have a healthy flange on both ends therefore just use a drill bit slightly larger than the post diameter.

    How about using one of those large size Binder clips?

      @@pmtips4482 I used two 2" Binder Clips and it worked like a charm😉. If the visor is thinner then maybe a slightly smaller Binder Clip would be more snug. If ever need to do so, try it out. 🙂

    Do you need the same Hellman’s one or try with another?

    • @pmtips4482
      @pmtips4482  4 роки тому

      Nikhil, it's just that the threaded post will leave the visor with nearly a flush surface fit.
      My nearest big box store has the Hillman brand post. A 5/8 inch post worked for my visor but ymmv.

    One question, what was the size of the drill?

    • @pmtips4482
      @pmtips4482  2 роки тому

      I make it a 64th or 32nd bigger than the post diameter. It's going through plastic so it's easy to push in. The post screws have nice large flanges on both sides too.

    What size Drill Bit?

    • @pmtips4482
      @pmtips4482  2 роки тому

      Larry, it won't matter much on that, just big enough to push the screw post through. It will depend on what post size you get. The post has a generous lip on the one side and the screw will too.
