W124 (1990 300TE) Driver-Side Sun Visor Repairable?
Driver Side Sun Visor (P/N 124 810 07 10) on my 1990 300TE literally broke out of its (doorside) roof anchor. The anchor, in my case a blue plastic oval, affixes to the interior roof with two Phillips screws and holds the visor-shaft / ball.
The plastic anchor (visor-shaft / ball socket) cracked. An inspection of the passenger side unit (still intact) looks like the visor-shaft and ball are simply held in the anchor and clamped by a press-fit plastic bushing. According to the dealer, I cannot purchase a replacement anchor and bushing (looks like about 50 cents worth of parts required) ... but must purchase a complete replacement visor (I’ve gotten quotes of $118 to $141).
Anyone sourced a replacement visor anchor ... or otherwise have suggestions in tackling this apparently simple fix ... repair or replace visor anchor and bushing? Thanx much ...
