Usually when the visor break, three things you can do, one is to take it apart( the arm of the visor) slowly and look for a broken plastic part pieces which you can superglue it back together, if the broken plastic peice is not still there and missing then you will have to replace it with the new one. Junkyard or ebay may carry some used. Dealer wont be that expensive either. 3rd, take the lens off and remove the bulb from the visor, this way it wont drain the battery. To hold the visor up you can try to find a velcro tape from auto parts store, by taping one side of the visor and the other top of the roof that way when you fold it up the velcro will stick to one another. this will be a temporary fix.

Yes, this IS an issue!!!!! I'm fuming. And it is $$$. I've only had the car 2 1/2 years. It was broken when I bought it, and the replacement was $245. Now it's broken again!!!!!! What a rip off. I am trying the velcro piece, but not very classy fix for such a classy car. Grrrrr. I am mad.

    Goodness, I'm not that mad now. I am getting ready to replace these now. Didn't do it in 2012 and did without, but in sunny weather you reall need them. Honestly, this is a great car. We haven't had to do anything else to it. My husband said it was great to work on a car where everything is tight and nothing leaks. Love it!

Why does my Mercury villager keep killing its battery?

You have a Parasitic battery drain, check at night for interior lights that may be staying on, check the sun visors for sure.

Electrical- something keeps killing my car battery.

Do a draw test on the battery and then start pulling fuses while you watch the amp meter.. Also check for lights left on like glove box light, vanity mirror lights left on in sun visors, these are the most common source of draws.

My friend has a 2001 Volvo C70 that drains the battery constantly. She has replaced 2 batteries and is on her second alternator. It runs when boosted but turn it off and its dead. What can the problem...

The unfortunate thing is diagnostics DOES TAKE TIME. You need to set aside the time to be accurate.

Something for sure is draining the battery and methodical diagnosis is the only way to get it figured out. IF there were an open in the alternator to battery circuit, the new alternator would be damaged.

Pull the interior light and radio fuses, disconnect the negative battery and put a test light or volt meter in series with the cable and battery terminal. I expect the light will be lit or the voltage to be above .2 volts draw.... Disconnect the battery, remove one component, connect the battery test setup, and see if voltage drops or light goes out..... when it does, you have the offending system, so investigate that.

Be sure that you can garantee good ground between battery and everything....especially the engine.

Volvo S80 has water leak on the driver side front floor. Happens when it rains.

If you have a sun roof,the drain hose may be off. If so,remove the sun visor and pull down the head liner, to get to the hose and drain fitting on the sun roof opening

Both sun visors will not stay up , very frustrating , is this a typical problem for a 2000 Volvo V40 ?

I have the same issue and when I unscrewed the drivers side sun visor I didn't realize it was connected to wires. I unfortunately pulled about 3-4 inches of the wire out unknowingly but I realized that when the radio stopped working so don't do what I did ok? Did you ever find a way to keep the visors in place?
