Hmm, Does it ever get below zero degrees F?

Maybe it's a hot cold thing.

Both replaced no problem with dealer.

New tail lights are pretty.

Thanks for posting this info. The driver's side visor on my '06 broke yesterday and the passenger side visor has a crack along the seam. Dealer will be replacing both under warranty.

FWIW, my '06 was manufactured in 1/06, so it's an early '06 car with the faulty visor as mentioned in the TSB.

 

When mine seperated, I used CA glue to hold it together...doubt anything will work better than that...and it was super cheap.

 

I thought I was going to escape this issue by being gentle with my visors, but alas, my driver side split last night. I wonder if they'll swap out both... I don't want to have to go back again for the other side.

Thanks for the info Zoom!

 

Just broke yesterday, it had been left out in the sun all day and then I drove it, reach up to pull it down and immediately it makes weird noise, I remember that other people have had issues with it, but it was too late, broken. Now it hangs down an inch or so and I keep bumping my head on it.

So is this tsb free? someone said they had to pay $160?!

 

The TSB is only free if your car is still under factory warranty.

 

My driver side visor split several months ago. Out of warranty. (I own a 2004 RX-8; 23,000 miles, garage kept at all times.)

Went in yesterday to the dealership. No way they were going to replace it! The service agent didn't even want to look up my information. He started telling me that he and his wife own Mazdas and never have had any trouble with them.

Went to the parts department. Written price quote for a new visor: $139.90!

Went to: https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-do-yourself-forum-73/diy-sun-visor-fix-152315/
Gives great instructions on a diy repair. It seems to work well. I just need to get some super glue to finish off the seal.

I'm really angry with Mazda's cheap plastic crap, and the fact that a TSB has been out so long on this issue with so many people having problems with this. It IS a safety issue. It should be a safety recall.

And like many of you - I hate those freaking little holes. A dark smoked plastic insert would have made a heck of a lot more sense for blocking sun glare, especially when used at the side window.

I deal with sun glare through my driver's side window every morning going to work and every evening on my way home. I went to K-mart yesterday to get a suction cup screen to help with the problem.

Right now, I really hate Mazda!

 

Time to get a new dealership dude.

I can see where mine is starting to split slightly. I use it regularly, and I'm sure it will eventually fail. but i doubt it will be any time soon.

 

My pass side visor just will not stay up. I was at the dealer yesterday and they said no TSB on it. $125 or so said they and I think that was just the part. Who knows if I let them install it?

The TSB number on here only cover drivers side?
My car is an '04

The TSB covers both sides Richard.

TSB's do not extend warranty coverage.

 

Does that mean it is still covered now that I'm out of warrenty?

Such a pain in the *** to go to the dealer and get lied to on top of it.

 

You probably just don't flip your visor up, letting it slap against the roof.

I don't understand, what the hell is a TSB good for if it only works for cars under warrenty? If it's under warrenty I don't need a TSB they just fix it. Armed with the TSB number I was going over to the dealer today but rereading this thread I think I'll make a fool of myself. My car has about 25K on it and I bought it in Feb '05.
Is the TSB just a note to let the dealer know whats coming?
