Sun Visor Covers
I've seen this happen on several blazers, and now it's happening to mine. The covers that are on the vanity mirrors broke off their hinges. Is there anything I can do to fix this, or will I have to order this part off of ebay or GM's site? I have to have the cover on to keep the light from coming on, but if I need to use the sunvisor, the cover falls off into my lap![:'(] Any suggestions on what to do? Thanks in advance!

That's what I had to do. Those #$*(!! little lights kept draining my battery, before I figured it out. Even stranded me at the airport once. I just snipped the wires, who needs that worthless feature.

WOW...talk about an old post lol Dating back to 2005. The OP and several of the other posters haven't been active for a longgg time. I think its funny to see these really old threads get bumped lol.

I bought some used visor mirror assemblies on eBay, but found the hinges had the exact same hairline cracks around them that my originals had...they were probably weeks away from complete failure. I imagine any visors that old will have the same cracks, the plastic in our Blazers seems to fatigue quite easily.
Between them all, I managed to salvage two assemblies by reinforcing the hinge areas with a "berm" of JB Weld epoxy. It worked quite well, and doesn't look bad either as the epoxy color is quite similar to the plastic. I replaced the bulbs with LEDs...should the hinges break again, they should drain the battery a lot slower than incandescent bulbs. (And hopefully not strand me at the airport again!)
