    *For the sun visor:

    I took them off and can not install them back in since I put some sound insulator on the proof. I also lost 1 metal clip somewhere on the ceiling, where can buy new one, and what is the part number for it?

    When I push the sun visor, only the clip stay on the ceiling, the sun visor will fall down. Please help, It drives me crazy whole day :( How the white plastic part (electric connect to sun visor) suppose to be attach to the ceiling?

    you can temporarily get the part you need from the passenger side.......that way your passenger will suffer and not you

    Curious--did you ever find this clip? I just had the exact same thing happen, but am having a horrible time figuring out what part number the little black clip is that "locks" the visor into the roof. I lost both of mine into the ceiling too. Any ideas??
