Mine broke maybe 15 years ago and was replaced by an OE part from the dealer.  So from then on I refused to disengage it knowing that it would soon break again.  My wife keeps wanting to swing the visor over to the side window, but I keep telling her that a no-no.

Thank Jerry!

​Yup 

I am thinking ... Maybe plastic weld with some reinforcement may work...

Or I can scrounge 1 or 2 from someone or overpay at shokan or maybe force5.. 

I should hv been way more careful.

Cheers

As I recall that visor clip has electronic contacts to power the light in the vanity mirror. They all eventually break when disengaging them and are hard to find as a replacement. You might have to do an epoxy fix to get it working again.

So the black avant made it chgo to Boulder on Tuesday in 95 degrees and then unbelievably Boulder to Las Vegas on Weds. in 104 temps! 
​Holy smokes! No coolant lost, maybe down half qt pennzoil euro 5-40 ... And 25 mpg at 76/85mph. 
Not bad at all for an 18 yr old with 164k... I would say. 
​That drive thru the Utah desert is an endurance test of nuttiness. At one point I70 close & detoured onto a road to nowhere for 30 min. No svcs in site or anything else as far as the eye can see. 

LasVegas still has it goin on, but I hear even the big names casinos struggle with huge huge debt and slave to the financiers... But I digress. 
Tomorrow is final leg push; which should be a four hour hop. 
Only casualty so far is a visor clip which I popped in defense of the setting sun yesterday. Anyone have one of these? 
Anyhoo, I now boosted with relic S car confidence, I am thinking to do a Kramerlike move and just keep drivin 'er until she can go no more? 

​Crazy
