I'm glad to know I'm not the only one. You forgot the part where you smash it with a hammer and scream

Right when I thought you were gonna walk away, you didn't disappoint and came back with the hacksaw to find out the truth! It made me feel so much better about the times I've tried carefully opening or taking apart things only to wind up going savage on them. Past a certain point, you just can't stop until you get to the bottom. Thank you for this entertaining one!

This was so fun to watch, like a treasure hunt 😂

Great video and really funny because I have a Prado and the recent comments make me think hot climates destroy these things. I have 2 wrecked sunvisors on a 2007 Prado in Australia. Thanks for your information in other videos about the gunk on 1GrFe oil filler caps also. The first time I changed the oil myself I got a shock. Always a pleasure to view your KZfaq posts.

"I want to see, I want to see what's inside!" :D :D That's exactly what I would have said and done if I didn't watch this first. Thank you! You saved me the time and stress of doing that. I guess it's just time to break down and buy a new one.

Reminiscent of the emotional arc of EAP’s The Tell-Tale Heart. Well done.

Thank you for the video. I was about to try and repair the visor on our 2003 Toyota Prado, now I know not to waste my time. Thanks Toyota for parts that are sure to fail and they can sell a new replacement at a inflated price. You have saved me a lot of time and working words. Much appreciated.

The moral of the story like you said is “I don’t like to lose”. No matter how much it frustrates you, you kept on going “for us” you say. Outstanding video!

FINDING THE OLDER PART WITH MATCHING HOLES BEFORE THEY ALL ARE CRUSHED , PRICELESS !

Can't blame you for trying to fix that visor, those things are kinda expensive for what they are.

Entertaining and informative. Glad i watched before i did my own. I wouldn't have been able to stop either!

I just took apart my 2016 Highlander driver side visor. Had to use a razor to cut through the fabric on the engine side (hinge side as well) of the visor. There is a seam on that side where the two halves come together. A sharp razor separates the seam. There is a white plastic part that rides in grooves which allows the visor to extend in and out of the main rod. On that white plastic part is a metal high tension part that provide the tension on a flat segment of the rod (this is the up position). That 50 cent metal clip failed and broke on the round end. Pisses me off that without that small cheap part this will be very hard to fix. If I had that part it would easily slide over the white plastic piece and then I could glue back the visor. I wish I could find that metal part. Now it deciding to pay the Toyota stealer ship $200 buck for a new one. Nice work Toyota

I never comment on videos but this is one of my favorite repair videos! Love the humor and your frustration is palpable. great stuff.

I'm glad you gave it a shot, it is still repairable with some JB Weld but at what cost.... cheaper to replace in this case.

That was fun. I think they can be repaired: either with very strongly glued Velcro on the headliner or possibly a Zip/cable tie down the steel piece for added friction, or the best way, with a screw driven through the visor and then a washer and bolt attached to tighten a plastic piece which is supposed to grip the steel piece, but breaks or gets lose. I'm going to try the zip tie approach first, because it's least invasive, but on Toyo visors, there's not much room for the tie.

ingenious for a quick fix!

LOL!!!! I enjoyed when you started to get frustrated with the visor monster! Too funny how you wasted your time on that thing.

This is exactly what I needed to see thank you!!!

My 97 T4R driver side sun visor has a screw that adjusts the tension - but I almost started taking it apart before I found the adjustment screw.

Thanks for the time and effort for making this video. It’s worth the time to watch and find out that there is no actual fix to this visor problem. I’m so glad to know that the zip tie and binder trick is a good option since I don’t want to spend the money to buy the replacement part

Lol. Ty! I was wondering the same about my visor that won't stay in position. Now I'm glad I just ordered a new one. 👍

Thanks for showing, I figured it was almost impossible to repair and your video confirmed this.

I'm just like you, I would try to see if I can fix it first before I buy a new one. Thank you for sharing this video. Save me so much time.

Great video bro the same with my Prado now I know 😮

I just watched a video where they used a large "paper binder clip". It worked great. Maybe not the most attractive but all they did was clip it to the advisor turn the little "legs" outward and it held it up just fine. 2 second fix for FREE

Is it possible to rotate the base by 1 turn to tighten up the spring, and then screw it back on?

thanks. saved me time and trouble

Looks like Toyota made the sun visors as "non serviceable" part. Unfortunately, new or replacements are not cheap. I need a passenger sun visor for my 2000 Sienna and even used ones go for close to $100. Do you know if aftermarket sun visors are available? Great video,

Thanks for trying. I'm on my second visor and need to replace it again. Still love my 07 RAV-4, but this thing is annoying.

Man, this is one of the best videos I saw on KZfaq. I was a anou to exactly do the same for my car. You are LEGEND ❤❤❤❤

Lol long story short, car companies don’t want you to fix it :( they want us to pay 91 buckaroonies to replace it

Really interesting vlog

Now we know...thanks for the video

I had the same problem with my 2008 Tacoma visor. I gave up trying to fix it and bought a new one for $90.

I thought of using a Dremel, you can gently cut around the visor

Whew! For a second there I thought I wasted money on buying used ebay visors for my 98 T4R.

Did you at least save the vanity mirror for da wife? 🤣

I feel your pain! Very entertaining!

I fixed mine by injecting salt water into the mechanism with a syrynge. In about a week it was very stiff.

Thanks for video

You made laugh 😂 My 2005 Tacoma driver side has the same problem 😐 um what's up toyota?

At least you got a mirror for future use....

I wasted time and thought it would fix the fault, but I am convinced that it cannot be fixed🤣🤣

Any visor I have in my older Toyotas, I will wear on my head.

This is funny. And I know how you feel. When you are able to fix very technical stuff but a simple visor is messing with your reputation. 😅😅😅

Well, now I know I can’t fix my rav4 visor!

Tried this on my corolla and now I have so many screwdriver marks and bends on the plastic it looks like dog sh!t now... doesn't work, and should have started from the side, not the top

same problem with my 2015 highlander, went to toyota $365.00!!!, bought used on ebay $70.00, looked like new

And now I know. Thanks!

I can’t find one video for passenger side. It’s different

WOW!!! This was hilarious!!! 😂😂😂😂😂

AFTER WATCHING THIS, I WENT OUT, AND TOOK ONE OFF ANOTHER TACOMA. EASY FIX

You should have added to the title..."what's inside"

👍

Omg came here to see how to replace the clip and decided I was crazy too

I think this visor was not made to be taken apart. Note to self: don’t waste time trying to fix it. Thanks for the video.

Good try.. my friend.

tacoma visor is just pressed together. much easier to repair.

I'd rather buy a new one then sit through a 13-minute video 😆

LoL..... fml... I was looking online for this 97 Mitsubishi Eclipse i'm restoring. It also has the same design... so If anyone sees my comment... The Eclipse has this same type of sunvisor... so unless you want your life to be set to the hardest level just to reupholster the visor. Don't do it, it's not easy and doesn't look like it will come out good. I'll update once I'm finished on this to see if you can even get a oem looking finish.

Thanks, now I know there is no need to look for a repair shop... just get a new one or live without it 😬😬

that`s me when I just give up and just go, fuk it !...you are not going in the trash in one piece !... and mine is 2015 nissan.

The make sure it’s so freaking impossible to take apart but the mechanism inside it’s such of crap they all brake! I was just waiting for him to start swearing and kicking it around XD That what I would’ve done

Wasted time cannot be recycled. Time waits for no one!

Whaaaaaaat!!! Want to fix it not destroy it 🤣

You really are a destroyer 🤣🤣🤣

Just goes to show how these companies engineer parts that are literally 100% unserviceable. 😣

do ya know of anyone that knows anything about 1985 toyota celica gt. I have one but 2 months ago on my way up the hill going home and all of a sudden it just died..did a bunch of tests and now it starts ans runs for about 10 seconds and then dies...

😂😂😂😂. I don't think I ever seen you loose your cool like that.

Why "unbelievable"? It's very believable. Did you think Toyota does not know how to make cheap crap and charge a lot of money for it?

500 dollars. Work

Haha, we need to see the truth! The truth is that auto manufacturers want you to buy a new one.

So far I’m damage in it 🤣🤣🤣🤣

🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈

😂😂😂

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

It was also a stupid thing to watch to the end🤣

Hahahahaha

🤣🤣🤣

AND THEY CHARGE SO MUCH FOR THERE TOYOTA PLASTIC SHIT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haha 🤣🤣🤣

This is like Donald Trump destroys
