That AMP crimper/cutter is not available. It's a vintage tool and no longer made by TE, the company that bought AMP (Airline Marine Products). But I did put a Klien Tools version who produces excellent tools and should work very well.

i would recommend that you put a big washer under the head of the bolt. it applies pressure on plastic, and is a good idea to distribute the pressure on larger surface.

Fantastic! An elegant solution to a frustrating, perplexing problem. I used your bolt solution on my 2014 Tacoma. I live in Phoenix, so my only variant was to avoid using tape, as it would only melt and fall apart in the desert heat. Instead, I drilled three holes along the edge of the plastic clamshell and used zip ties to hold it together. I positioned the zip tie connection on the closed side of the visor so you don’t see the little bumps in the fabric most of the time. I then sewed the fabric back in place. It looks like Dr Frankenstein did the repair, but it’s not bad. Thank you for posting a very helpful video

The mirror comes out easily by prying the end of the mirror assembly closest to the end of the visor as opposed to the middle. That makes it easier to Skin the visor and then sew the covering back together when finished. Great video and Thanks for the idea.

You're welcome. Glad it worked for you. If you discover a way to reattach that cover, share it with us. In my case, the tape did fail due to cabin heat, so I used a small bead of hot glue on the seam. It's been holding better, just not as a pretty job. Mine took 13 years b4 failure, sounds like yours lasted 14 years b4 failure. I get the feeling some of those '08 are going to start to fail pretty soon.

You're very welcome! Hot glue is a great idea. That Arizona dashboard heat is intense for sure. Keep us updated as to how it holds up. The Texas heat is no joke either. A few months later we ended up removing the cloth tape and used super glue. that did pretty well. btw, where in AZ?

Thanks, worked for me on a 2013 Mazda CX-9, very similar. I cut the seam of the fabric with an X-acto and used super glue to close the seam when finished. Like another person I too removed the trim for the mirror to make it a lot easier to reseat the fabric. All works except that the mirror light does not work, I think I forced the contacts out of place and I should have tested it before gluing the fabric but it's all out back together. Happy to have a working visor but this did take me about 1.5hrs so in reality it would have been cheaper in relative terms to buy the OEM part :) but always fun to fix things.

Thumbs up. I tried a similar fix using a bolt through the entire visor. Looks like yours is a better solution since it isn't dependent upon any of the plastic. I've been sporting an old junk 4-Runner visor, but may have to try this fix again since the 4-Runner isn't an exact match and is missing the slider. BTW, should you have to try to wrap it again, the bezel around the mirror pops off so that you don't have to tuck the fabric. Oh, and don't bother with the hot-glue. I found even the "high temp" stuff gets soft and useless in the truck. (although mine is black)
@TSGEnt 4 жыл бұрын
Sounds like you have hot glue experience in your vehicle. ;) The only plastic to worry about is the body of the visor. Great tip about the bezel. I pulled on it but was afraid to break it off. When it's time to repair the passenger side visor, I'll give it a try.

Thanks for the video. I followed your instructions and it worked great for me. I haven't yet tried to use the visors a lot, but they flip up and down like they should. The one difference in my approach is that I decided to completely remove the foam/cloth covers. If it turns out the halves don't want to hold together on their own, a bit of duct tape should fix that. The foam covers themselves are only aesthetic and I don't mind the exposed black plastic. So what, as long as the visors work. Thanks again!

You are so welcome. Glad it's working for you. I have thought about just using some scrap material and sewing a "sock" like cover to slip over the visor. But black plastic isn't a problem either. Best to you.

I never thought putting the visor into place was so difficult, why springs?
@TSGEnt 3 жыл бұрын
It was 110˚! No springs were harmed or used in this repair.

An easier way to fix the visor: Install neodymium magnet(s) on the outside of visor with countersunk screw. Use steel fender washer and attach it to headliner (slightly off center from the magnets on visor) using a screw. It took me less than 10 minutes start to finish. However, it did take me 2 years to finally arrive at this method of solving the problem. Sorry, but I won't be posting a video of this. It's a very easy fix.

Once you cut the screw, the threads on the end are too messed up to get a nut to start.

I suppose I've been fortunate that the AMP Super Champ I use has cleanly cut screws for my needs for the last 50+ years.

Do this work on Auris?

I have not tried on one. There are only a couple of makers of the visor. They share the same visor across different models.

I opened mine and that part in the video was intact. My problem was a cracked plastic tube. There is no way to fix it and I ordered a cheap replacement from Amazon

🔵🔧 A ValuableTip!....Before you cut a Bolt always thread a nut on below where you're gonna cut, so afterwards just removing the nut will chase the threads for you!

A valuable tip indeed! Thank you.

Well, no problem. Sometimes you just gotta get the job done. Now when the other one goes out, you can try this repair. Just save this video to a playlist and rewatch it when you need it. Best to you.

I hear ya. Since this repair, others have used super glue or stitch witchery to bond the fabric together. I've been told they work well. I've added those to the store- amzn.to/34EeBYq. I have found and OEM part for less than $100! amzn.to/3jlG2i1 Price came down so you might what to check that out.

Have the same issue with a Landcruiser Prado. Don’t understand how Toyota have a reputation for reliability. Reliability extends to all parts, not just the motor running. Some of their components must be so old in the design. There are reports of this thing failing from 20 years ago and still no change. Toyota are crap and living off past glories.

we had a mercedes from 1983. The visor never broke. 40 years and nothing. that is the problem with these garbage cars being made now. they are made to break. oh and they charge 200 bucks for this garbage.
