Toyota Camry Sun Visor Plastic Tab Replacement

thingiverse

This is for the 2011 Toyota Camry(or similar model years). The plastic tab within the sun visor was broken off and need a piece of plastic to keep the metal rod in place. You don't need this if your sun visor only fell an inch from the ceiling. All you have to do is fixing it before further damages. I waited too long and by the time it drops off from the ceiling, the plastic holding tab are completely broken off from the visor. Mine was not covered in a recall, but you should check to see if you are eligible. I can probably put that piece back in and fix it with that, however I think a bigger piece is better(more surface to catch the tab of the rod). Others are using screw/bolt/rivet to hold it, but I think with the metal wires from the clip it has a better look. Not sure how well it can hold, but time will tell. In worst case, I can always go back to fix it with big bolts/nuts. Materials 3 paper clips (various size or strong metal wire). I used one large and 2 medium size. I use 2 layers of Butyl tape and sandwich a layer of filament tape in between. I think this is more to cover the metal ends than holding the structure. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Nashua-Tape-1-89-in-x-33-9-yd-Foil-Mastic-Sealant-Tape-1461664/302091382 https://www.walmart.com/ip/Scotch-Reinforced-Clear-Strapping-Tape-2in-x-30ft/15032396
