Absolutely Genius to xray the visor! I used your measurements, drilled a hole, installed and tightened the 5/8" post screw (with washers).... it worked PERFECTLY! Thank you

This is the most thorough and informative walkthrough for solving a problem that I have ever watched. Absolutely no useless information or filler, and the video contained every single piece of relevant info imaginable. Well done sir, and thank you.

Fantastic solution! Just repaired visor on sons 2011 Honda Accord Coupe (2dr) for less than $1.50 (post screw + washer + a little brut effort)! As someone stated earlier, hardest part was drilling hole for post screw. As a professional engineer, who appreciates root cause, I really enjoyed the visor xray and explanation.

Just did this! worked to perfection! went from 2-2.5 inches of sag to less than half an inch. I have no idea how they figured out using screws could fix this but whoever did that should get a job on the Honda design team. A few tips for anyone who might try this: When you're removing the visor, if you're doing the one on the driver's side, take a couple minutes, go under the hood, and remove the fuse for the horn (I don't know about other Accords but on my LX it was the only 20-amp fuse in that fuse box, so it was easy to locate). This allows you to get behind the visor while touching the steering wheel without blowing your eardrums out. The correct size the hole needs to be is 1/4 inch. Make sure you use a bit designed to drill through metal, it will make your life so much easier. I tried this with a standard bit, and while it did penetrate completely with some effort, it didn't entirely drill out everything, which caused issues. I then got a proper metal-cutting bit and it went through like a knife through butter. Definitely use some kind of masking tape (you can't use too much) over the point you're drilling on so you don't mess up the fabric. Start drilling on the side that doesn't have the mirror on it, there's less in the way on that side.

This fix actually works! You deserve a Nobel Prize.

Awesome fix... enjoyed your use of x-ray to find the exact location to drill. I was going to cut and re-glue..but this is the best and cleanest way to fix... very nicely done! Thanks!

I was making an Amazon order for both visors for my 2009 Accord for $230 and thought to check you tube to see if there was a repair. This repair works very well and saved me $230. Doesn't look as good as new but perfect for a 10 year old vehicle. These visors have been replaced before and Honda should provide a free repair. Will definitely have a bearing on future purchase from Honda.

Great DIY repair video! Your diligence and thorough explanation gave me the confidence to do it on my own. Thanks from one rad-tech to another!

from 50+ year auto technician, great video, applaude your X-Ray technique and explanation of repair, very professional!

Excellent video and instructions! Took no time at all with the drill press. Based on other’s comments, I thought it might be more difficult. I had the same scratches on the screw head, but after installing, I sprayed a little on a Q-Tip to touch it up. Looks great, works great. I appreciate your post!

Glad I found this tutorial. Very thorough and detailed walk through! Thank you !!

Also works for 2014 Honda Pilot. One difference when drilling the hole is that instead of 1 inch down, you have to go 1 and 3/8ths inches down. For length 3 and 1/8th inches works fine as shown in the video. Also when drilling the hole use a thinner bit for the pilot hole first taking care not to rip the cloth on the opposite side. Hope this helps someone.

excellent measurements! I bought a 1/2" post screw at home depot and it worked great! Thanks so much

I would like to say a very Super Thanks to your Super Super Genius and Expert technic. It worked perfectly on my wife car with cost less than $2 instead of $150 dealer cost with labor. Followed exactly your Genius measurement, all work out perfectly except the hard part is drilling the hole. Look forward to your future uploaded videos. I hope I can give your more starts on this video instead only one😊!👍👍

Same measurements and hardware also fixed my 2007 Honda Fit Sport visor. Thanks for the tip!

Love this video! Please make more videos, your a smart man with the glorious voice of forest gump

Amazing job on the video, explanation, and attention to detail.

Loved it!! You took an X-ray of the visor what’s cool idea to do that! Thanks for the info and your version of the repair, thumbs up

I just did exactly as pointed on your video on my wife's 2011 Acura TSX. It worked like a charm. Thanks for the X-ray detail. Very thoughtful. Thank you

Without a doubt this is the best explanation of how to fix a Honda Accord sun visor sagging issue. I haven't done it yet but you answered all my questions in your video on how to execute each step of the fix. Thank you for taking the time to help me and many other people who have the same problem. Best wished from Halifax NS Canada 🍁

Brilliant! You're better than the Honda engineers that designed the flawed visor.

Worked perfectly for my 2010 Accord. 89 cent fix rather than replacing the visor for $43.

Fantastic! Perfect solution to save over $100 for a replacement. Nevermind the paint.

Exactly what I was looking for! This video is great!

This is awesome - and btw, it is still happening past 2012 models, bc my 2014 Honda Accord EX has the same exact issue. Seems like a design flaw that Honda refuses to address with a recall or official redesign. Probably so they can make more money off of new parts and labor at the dealerships...

You done such a good job of this very informative video. I’ve been meaning to repair my Honda’s visor for about a year and now I know exactly what to do. Thank you! 🙏

It worked on my 2014 Accord! It does take some force to drill the hole, though. Thanks!

@Tinker Man: thank you, this was very useful. The same measurements and procedures worked on my 2015 Accord. It doesn't quite go all the way up just like in the video, but much better than it was.

did the hack, it worked. thanks for the video. I would say though that before anyone does this have wax/oil, drill bits for stainless steel, and a drill press on hand.

Awesome video sir! This worked wonderfully on my 2017 Accord Sport! Saved me couple hundred bucks!

Tinker Man. Thank you so much. I from México, and It worked for me in my accord 08, i have save 40 dólars in used sun visor, the hard part was to drill the metal, i used a conical 10-32 screw.

Thank you!! I’m going to try with mine!!!

A quick FYI for anyone doing this: The post screw that is used is meant for 1/4 inch holes according to the listing, and when I did this, the 1/4 seems to fit perfectly.

Great video!!! Thank you 🙏🏾

Thank you, worked perfect on my 2010 accord. Now I don’t need to worry about getting smacked in the forehead by it anymore! :)

Pretty smart. Good job

Dude, excellent…thank you!

Opps, found it in your video, cool, thanks!

Great job. Thank you.

Might have to do this for my 2012 accord, it's starting to sag and it's bothering me

Worked for me, thank you!

Does it work for honda accord 2004? Thank u

I know I’ve seen this comment but damn, what a beautiful how to video. Bless you sir ❤️

My visors slightly sag like your end result. Should I even bother with this repair?

Nice to know you haven't abandoned your channel. Any chance we'll be seeing new SHTF type videos?

Having trouble drilling through the metal. We are using Titanium drill bits. When it hits the metal, it slips. Any suggests?

nice video. do you have any more of the x-ray photos? maybe with a grid or ruler for scale?

Always admire doing things on the cheap. This repair made things better, but is not a satisfying fix. Fabric shreds even if U duck tape it. The visor still hangs down 1/8" lower, but is not in the way. All in all I did not have 2 pay Honda or eBay fifty bucks! Thanks.

How will i know where to drill the hole in mine? I see other comments saying they measured a different location for their model so i assume i can figure that out. Mines a 2013 honda crosstour.

Worked great on my 2012 passenger visor. The drilling was tougher than I thought. What is Honda using as metal, Titanium??? The washer is essential when tightening the fastener as the fabric twists without it. Thanks!

I'm an x-ray tech too and trying this on my Acura RDX. Brought my visor into work with me today. What technique did you use? I was thinking about 60KV @ 4mAs 😅

Nice job

Worked just like you said. Got my girlfriend's visor working better and a happy girlfriend

I have a 2014 Honda accord, u think the same measurements for it?

I believe you had to cut the post and screw shorter. Can you, please, give me the lengths you cut the screw and post and if the screw is #8? Thank you.

I was only able to find 3/16th post screws. Do you think this would work as well?

i want to give it a try on my 2012 Honda accord. Do I need to remove the visor before drilling?

@TRUTH I got stuck at the drilling stage. Bought a new cobalt bit but could not get through the steel. Now I may have hardened the steel. About what drill speed did you use? Mine was at 1900 rpm which may have been too fast. Any advice would be appreciated

thank you

A f'n X-RAY! 😅 I love it!!

Hey, I'm redoing the headliner on my 7th gen accord. I had to use a sawzaw to cut the sun visors open, as they were plastic welded shut. Well, I'm at the point where everything can go back together, but I feel I may be missing some components, or some other issue. On the arm of the sun visor, there is a black metal thing that the arm goes into. That black piece doesn't want to fit nicely in the actual sink visor, so I really can't close it. And also, if it does slightly close, the arm does not move. Is there a place where I could see what parts I need and order them? Everyone is saying to just get 2 new visors, but I put a lot of hard work into the ones I did, so I don't want them to go to waste. Thanks in advance.

In my case, that metal holder just clicked out off the held place, I disassembled the visor with accuracy, it holds on hot joint and removed the holder and clicked it up and then just connect 2 sides with a glue for plastic Now it looks like the new one and work fine, no bolts and holes

Can anyone confirm if this is the same for a 2003 - 2008 Accord?

XRAY... BETTER THAT A HONDA TECH!!! YES SIR

how did you drill the hole? what size drill bit? i ask because i would think a drill would twist the fabric as you go through it?

Where the heck have you been?

Anyone do this on a 2014?

You kinda sound like Dale from King of the Hill lol

What size does the hole have to be?

Do you have any update footage?

mine did not work now I have a hole in the viser thanks chuck

Cost of an X-ray for medical purposes: $300 to $1,000. Tinker Man just x-rayed his sunvisor for, presummably, free to repair his car. That being said, good use of technology and skillset.

👍🏻👏🏼

Where can I buy that screw?

nice video, but dont work for me.

the fact that this video has 112k views... why is there no recall for this. i have to leave mine down or i hit my head hard on it if i go over a bump, literally has left bruises. honda fix your shit.

$22 for a new one on the Bay

Don’t try this with a cloth sun visor. It will rip up the material with the drill. Not very good video for cloth sun visor. F---

Dude get to the point. Start at 1:45

Loved it!! You took an X-ray of the visor what’s cool idea to do that! Thanks for the info and your version of the repair, thumbs up
