Driver sun visor

The driver side sunvisor on my 1999V70XC doesn't work properly...keeps flopping down.

I took it out to try and fix, but no can do. The whole thing is sealed up.

A new one costs about $175...seems like a lot to me.

Anybody know where I can find one cheap?

I have never figured out how to fix one of these things. My old car's used to fall down all the time and it annoyed the heck out of me, so I ripped it off and stole one off a newer Accord from a junkyard. That is probably your best bet for yours, too.

I scanned the junkyard and found better behaving visors. '95 850 visors seemed better.

One of the cooler upgrades that I've made to my '98 was a driver's visor with Homelink.
I watched eBay for a while to get a good price, but the wait was Totally Worth It.
I think they started coming in -00's and later.

Very easy install, no more floppy visor and 3 channels of Programmable Remote Control!
Quite convenient at -50...

I think 98
My 99XC has it and IRRC my new 98 XC had one

I'd guess someone added it to your '99, Jim.
It doesn't show in the Owner's Manual until 2000.
Sweet upgrade!
