Default sun visor delete

is there such thing as a plate to delete the sun visors? just like a little triangular plate to cover up the hole in the headliner where they are supposed to be?

havent seen anything like that, you could posibly make a cardboard template of what your looking for and have a small / local shop make you a set pretty cheap and then spray the set with whatever color to match your headliner or do the universal black

i hated my sun visors so i took them off. what i did was take off the visors and then i broke off the visor from the metal piece. and put the metal bracket back on. it covered up the hole and im pretty happy with it.

order some textured abs plastic, make a template, cut, and paint it to match your interior. Install with visor screws.

That's what I'd like to know, especially since the previous owner of my car really kinda beat on it and yet both visors are fully intact.

Both of my visors just fell off. The drivers side hit me in the head one day as I was driving, and the passenger side fell off about 4 months after.

Gf played with it pushing it back and forth for the 1100 miles down to FL and 1100 back after I kept telling her to quit. One week later it plopped onto the passenger seat while driving around town.
