Review on Replace Your Toyota Tacoma'S Passenger Side Sun Visor With SAILEAD'S Compatible Visor Assembly - Without Light! by Michael Keegan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect Fit If Installed Correctly!

My 2009 Toyota Tacoma sun visors did the inevitable "Break and Flop Down" routine a couple of years ago, and I got sticker shock when I looked for new replacement visors at the Toyota Dealership. Toyota installed defective visors in our Trucks that are breaking in EVERY Tacoma in that time frame, they will not fix them for you, and then they try to charge us $150+, *PER VISOR*, for replacements?I found these here on Walmart for $31.55 for BOTH sides of the truck, read the reviews, and took a chance.First let me say that these Sun Visors fit and function PERFECTLY as long as they are installed correctly. If You install them and they "flop down a few inches away from the roof", or if you can't swing your visors toward the side windows without them hitting the roof of the cab, check to be sure you installed them correctly. When you open the package, the base attachment points are "rotated horizontally" for shipping and you have to turn the base attachment piece 90 degrees to install them. if you screw them in place and they won't turn without hitting the roof, remove them and rotate the attachment base 180 degrees in the other direction. Easy Peasy!Using an Electric Screwdriver with a Phillips-Head Bit, it took me exactly 8 Minutes and 37 Seconds (Yes, I timed it) from start to finish to remove the old broken visors and install the new visors on BOTH sides of the truck. Just remove the two Phillips-Head screws from the Mounting Base of each old visor (There's no screw cover to remove, the screws are exposed and easy to get to), Then use the same screws that you took out of the old visors to install the new visors (The new visors don't come with mounting screws, but unless you've lost your old screws you don't really need new screws). DONE! It's REALLY that fast and easy!The color matched up perfectly with the interior of my truck also. These DO NOT feel like "Cheap Visors"! If someone swapped your old visors for these visors without telling you, you wouldn't notice the difference, except that these visors aren't constantly flopping down in front of your face like the Toyota OEM Visors do once they break.

Pros
  • Nothing
Cons
  • May be more prone to scratches or marks than original visor
