Clavius

Oh damn nice.. had mine replaced shortly after buying the car. Nice to know if it happens again this new one will never be a issue. Now what about them tail lights lol

How about a new pair of sunvisors that don't have those useless holes in them?

I like the holes.
Makes it easier to see a stop light when the visor is down.

Don't get me wrong, I like holes...just not on a goddamn sun visor.

I love the holes! Finally I can see the red light change even when the sun's right in front of me. I find that I can always block out the sun—even with the holes—by adjusting the angle of the visor.

I've had both visors swapped but not the taillights. Good to see this has become an official issue with Mazda. Both times mine were swapped out the dealership acted like they never heard of the problem. However I noticed the other day a very small amount of moisture on the left taillight so maybe sometime in the future.

*Added to the list of stuff I need to tell my dealership next week*

my sun visor is broken, and dealer quote me to be $160 dollar to replace it. any one know where to buy one for a cheaper price?

MazdaManiac

Buy the $160 one. Any used visors you buy will be the old version which will break again.

the stig

so i should just get it replace from the dealer?...sigh thats ALOT money for a sunvisor!! lol

Sun Visor number 3 today(broke 2 on driver side so far). I commute into the sun for some part of every morning.

Also a new set of Tail lights :P Both had water in them. 30k miles.

I was dragging my feet on the lights but the visor NEEDS to be replaced when it breaks. You might want to keep a philps screwdriver in the glove box. When it breaks it's painful. It totally blocks your vision. Just remove the 2 screws and snap the clip on the wire to remove it.

You can just buy the part if you have to. Don't pay anyone to 'work' on replacing it. My 3 year old could do the work.

Im still using my original SunVisor. Is there a problem with my car? It never break! (or apart like it saids in the TSB)

Napboy

Do TSB's apply to vehicles out of warranty? I had my driver side visor replaced a while back, but now the seam is splitting on the passenger side. I asked the last time in the shop and they said no.

New Yorker

Funny, mine's fine, too, after two years of ownership. Is it because the car spends most of its time in a dark garage? Or that I NEVER let it slam back into position when I'm finished using it? Or am I just lucky??

I dont know man. I dont use it that often.

but the problem is that they *suppose* to break by itself even when u dont use it. They spread because of heat I think.

meh, doesnt matter, My car has so much problems cuz it never really gave me much problems !
