Passenger sun visor broke!!!

@InvertedLogic

Did you use a metal split collar? Any issues with elec. shorts using the metal collar?

I used an aluminum split collar. I haven't had any odd contact issues that I've seen other people having. Not sure if I cut the plastic down further such that the collar sits lower or what. Garage door opener and mirror light work just fine.

Have a link to what you've used?? I've actually never even heard of a split collar.

This is what I used with success. In hindsight, the Ace Hardware down the store has a steel version of this collar as well I could have picked up locally. https://www.mcmaster.com/6436K132/

Be sure you order Bore .025 in.

Thanks all! That's defiantly a better option than an E clip. Although, a bit more expensive. Now to wait on shipping

A couple of guys reported an issue or an electrical short when effecting the fix..

Probably best bet is before you place the collar, place a piece of shrink wrap tubing / and shrink over the metal tubing before you place the split collar.... or a couple of winds of black electrical tape on the metal tubing.

Do this for insulation and thus no current flow from the tube to the collar.

That was what I was thinking. Ordered those cool little clamps. Should make this infinitely easier

I proactively put this in to prevent the visor damage. Also fixes broken visor.
