W108 sun visors

[Rauchen]

I need to replace the passenger side visor and receiving clip in my 71 w108. I was just in "shock and awe" at the prices. I mean for real it's just vinyl and foam. Although looking at my good one on the driver side, the foam inside feels very dried out and crunchy. But the ones I've seen are $100+ per piece. And I can't seem to find that receiving clip (the one by the mirror) anywhere to even price it. Anyone got any advice on this?

Go to an auto upholstery shop for the visors unless you just have to have an original. The clips are probably still available from the dealer. How is the triangular pivot end?

The pivot end is in tact to the ceiling but is separated from the visor itself. The small spring steel tab that encircles the chrome shaft is broken, thus the visor had torn due to the jagged edge and of course there is nothing to hold the chrome shaft in place on the visor. If it were just a matter of torn material, I could probably fix that. But since the shaft is apart from the visor, I don't know if there is any saving it.

Do you have any pictures? What exactly do you need?

Here is a couple of pics of what the existing visor looks like.

I know I have visors... I will have to see if I have the clip.

I just uploaded some pictures of my parts to photobucket. Photobucket allows 250 pictures per album, and I uploaded 4 albums. And that is only about half of the parts I have in storage. http://s233.photobucket.com/albums/ee24/brocpoet/

I need to do something with the parts, I am paying $175.00 per month to store them.
