Broken visors on SII's too, yay!!

Went to flip my passenger side visor back to put up the sunshade when it just made a crunch noise and split open. I know this was SI issue but I assume they use the same stupid visor. Drove straight to the dealer and warranty covers it, otherwise $140. He said it happens a lot and sometimes have them in stock cause of it.

oh..2009 R3. Must be the Florida heat, over 100 deg in the car. My first issue with the car.

It's a cheap alternative. You will need to remove the visor from the two phillips head screws and un-clip the wiring for the vanity light before you can work on it.
