How to Repair a Sun Visor on a Honda Civic MK8

Model: Honda Civic MK 8 - Years 2006-2012
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video, you will see how to repair the sun visor on a Honda Civic MK8, produced from 2006 to 2012. This visor does not stay up and is very annoying as it drops while driving. The presenter has an easy, quick, and low-cost solution. Find a large binder clip, the type used to hold many sheets of paper together in offices; flip one side over, and after unclipping the visor from the inner side, insert the clip with the flipped side into the visor from the side that does not hold (presumably the side near the driver's door). Then lift the visor, and voilà, it stays perfectly in position; it can be raised and lowered.
