Sun visor

Post by scarecrow »

Every BX I've owned I break the bloody sun visor - it's gone all floppy and loose and I keep hitting my head on it. I don't suppose there is an easy fix on these (other than velcro :wink: )?

Cheers

Not really, best just to replace it with a good known one, they just wear with age,

Drivers side Richard, thanks. I'll check the exact colour - but I seem to remember dark blue/grey.

I don't think I'm particularly rough with the visor. The last one did end up being ripped out and thrown in the back for hitting me in the face once too often :oops:

When I get another I'll take this one to bits to see if there is a fix, Tim. It'll be good practice for doing a strut one day. :wink:

I've tried to put a home made clamp around the pivot and then keep on tightening up the pinch bolt /screw.
It works most of the time !
