E93 Visor Clip

lowrydr310 · 02-07-2024, 12:13 PM

One of my visor clips snapped off in pieces. This happened a few weeks after I had seen an E93 at my local junk yard, so I didn't know I'd need it. I can't seem to find a replacement part aside from getting a complete visor assembly ($60 on eBay). Are there any alternatives? E90/92 uses a different design for the visor.

What should I be searching for? When I search visor clip the results are for the clip itself that bolts to the roof. I need that plastic cylinder that snaps onto the visor.

Oh my fail on my part. I was distracted and thought it was the clip. Sorry I'm not helpful on this one.

If I understand the difference in the 2 pictures, it appears the part that broke is the piece that wraps around the bar to make it fatter so that it's snug in the clip? It looks like the part on the good one has a slit in it so that it can slip over the bar.

So either buy a donor visor on ebay and take it off of that one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/36462439526...Bk9SR7jTg9ywYw

or maybe just glue a piece of fuel line hose over it or something of the needed diameter? Seems it would never show
