Sun visor issues

I had such good luck with help on the floor mats I thought I'd seek suggests on my sun visor. My 2012 GT convertible drivers' side has two issues. 1) the clip that the visor rest in is apparently tight thus has slowly worn through the material on the right side of the visor from trying to get the visor out. 2) the three button garage door opener keeps falling out.

A simple solution is buying a new or used one. I've been looking and they are running from $125.00 to $170.00. Second thought, (if it works) put a back Mustang Covin mask with emblem over the worn spot.

2) The garage door opener... keeps falling out of the visor and I'm certain one of these times it's going flying when the top is down. I did put some electrical tape in trying to tighten the devise. That was a failure.


It's such a struggle to get this out, it has worn due to the pulling on the shade.

This door opener devise keeps falling out of the visor.

Pm Me Your Vin Number and Let Me Do Some Research Which May Help With Solution!

Do You Even Use Door Opener Function and Or Lighted Mirrors??? A Base Visor is a Possible Option if You Don't Use or Need Features.

I do use the garage door opener daily. Mirror occasionally, I guess often enough to keep it..

Don't know what Pm me means. Different means other than on the site?

Alright Here Goes The Visor Info! They Both Look To Be Discontinued New! These Are The Original By VIN!

Be Advised Coupe Vs Vert Are Different!

BR3Z-7604104-AA Number Replaced By DR3Z-7604104-AA Fits 2012-2014 Passenger Side

https://www.fordpartsgiant.com/parts...tra2=&filter=()

BR3Z-7604105-DA Driver Side


So Get This it Appears A Drivers Side Option is Still Available New For The Vert But The Language on The Sticker is Spanish!

https://www.fordpartsgiant.com/parts...604105-ba.html



Here are The Used Listings on Ebay! LOOK FOR SOME BABIED ONES! I Would Stick With 2012-2014 and Not Force The Issue With The 2010-2011.

Ebay By Passenger OEM Part Number

https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fro...sors&_osacat=0


Here Is The Odd Thing The 2010-2011 Still Show a Lot Of The Choices Available. I Seem To Recall Some Wiring Differences in the Early Cars and Of Course all The Visor Color Choices Shown. Just an FYI!

We'll be gone all day today. I'll call FordPartsGiant, and make sure the visor will fit a convertible. Thanks for the help.

States Convertible in Sub Text. The Later Production Date I Believe is Just Due to The Fact The Car Was Not Exported To Spanish Language Countries Until Then. But Always Good To Double Check. You Can Also Purchase at Any FORD Dealer Though Pricing Will Vary!Ford DR3Z7604105BA


This part fits the vehicle you selected:
My Vehicle: 2012 Ford Mustang
The location this part fits:
  • Driver Side
The vehicle options this part fits:
  • Fit Note: Convertible, With Spanish Language Label
  • Production Date: 06/2014-06/2014

When I put in only the car description it says the Spanish one will fit. Almost ordered it but got interrupted with wife's health issues. Went back on today and decided to use the VIN. Using the VIN, program states not the correct visor for my car.

I'll give them a call when I'm not working with my wife but looks like I'm going to have to find a way to repair it.

I'll also check with my mechanic and the local Ford Dealer.

Your Vin Will Only Show What Originally Came With Vehicle. I Believe it's Same Visor Just The Spanish Vs English. I Did Ford Dealer Parts From 1985-2017 You Learn a Few Tricks! Hopefully You Will Get an Experienced Counter Person At The Dealership Who Has Been Around The Block!

You wouldn't think it would be that hard to find a replacement sun visor. FordPartsGiant appeared it might have one that would fit but they won't talk to you on the phone. And, refer you to a web site. I think that was four days ago and today I got an email that they are working on it. Not to impressed. Tried the Ford Dealers, parts but they're systems were down due to being hacked.

The Ford Parts Giant Site Gets The Parts From Don Sanderson Ford in Glendale Arizona. One of The Largest Dealers in the Country! You Could Call Them. Yes 1500 Customers of a Certain Dealer Computer System Did Get Hacked But There Are a Quite a Few Dealer Systems Out There So Not All Dealers are Effected.

I'm Pretty Confident The Number I Supplied Will Do The Deed and as I Said It Will Take The Right Counterperson Who Can Think Past AS BUILT Vin Info To Give You More Confidence on The Purchase. I'm Dependent on Available Info Online as I Do Not Have Access To Actual Ford Parts System. If I Were Still at The Dealership I Would Do An Inquiry To The Ford Parts Specifier and Ask The Question is This Part Number Visor The Same as The As Built Visor Specified EXCEPT For Spanish Verbage. Also Effort I Would Do on a Daily Basis That is Rare with Many Ford Parts People These Days Sad To Say!

I spoke with the local Ford Dealer, who are now back online. Can't help, part no longer available.

Called the Ford Dealer in Arizona, they were awesome in trying to help. In the end they couldn't. They referred me to another Parts company in Phoenix, turned out they didn't deal with interior parts at all. So, looks like I'm going to have to try and find wreaked Mustangs and find a used part. Thanks for the help.

Here is The Spanish One!

They Show Two in Stock! As Per Picture Does Not Have Homelink! Be Advised. Actual Pictures are Great! Too Bad Ford Does Not Use Them! Now You Can Compare!

I Have Used This Company Back in The Day When I Was Still in Ford Dealer Parts! They Been Around a Long Time!

The two you're showing are in black, perhaps the hold up on FordPartsGiant, as mine are gray. Not sure what the round thing is on the visor, unless the Spanish ones have round garage door openers. Mine requires an oblong slot to hold the garage door opener. Anyway, still haven't heard back from them except to say they are working on it. Perhaps trying to find gray and the correct door opener slot.

One glimmer of hope is that found a message on my phone last night. A parts employee from the local Ford Dealer asking me to contact him. He thinks he may be able to help through a non-Ford source he knows.

05, you do far more than try and I am very appreciative. I'm pretty sure I gave you the correct VIN, however, I am old, slow and senile. There is another possibility, I am the fourth owner of the car so did someone change from the black to the gray? Tomorrow I will stop and talk with the parts department at the local Ford Dealer. He had left a message he may be able to help through a non Ford source.

I've retired ebay and others, nothing. One fellow gave some suggestions on how to repair the visor so that may be my last resort.

Maybe The Sun Has Bleached Them. If You Look at These Some Pics Look Black and Some More Grey! Especially The One With The Closed Mirrors!

Well you given me an idea. I've been asking for gray. I'm going back on and ask for black and see what happens. Maybe that's why they're having problems locating them.

Use This Search!

Actually Those I Just Linked Above Look Like They Would Clean Up Nice! Just Dirty on Plastic Mirror Surround! Out of a 2014!

Anyhoo! Have Fun!

The one for $119, looks exactly like mine. Says it's black. Looks gray to me but it is the same.
