Review on SAILEAD Toyota Tacoma Driver Side Sun Visor Replacement For Models 2005-2012 Without Light - Sand Beige (Part Number 74320-04181-B1), Improved Visibility And Durability by Star Bell

The dimensions and finish of this replacement for that in my 2010 Tacoma are almost identical to the original, so much so that no one would ever notice the small differences. The problem is with the "staying power" of the internal hinge. When folding it up too the roof of the car, no problem. It locks and stays readily against the inside roof of the cab. However, when folded forward as when blocking sunlight, the visor does not stay against the windshield, but sags down about 2 inches. This is very annoying since it does reduce my view ahead, and should not occur in a $50 accessory. So, I will be returning it.I did return it to ebay and received a replacement. Unfortunately, this one was even worse. When folded up to the ceiling, it will not stay, and rotates down about 4 inches so it does not fully obstruct my vision of the road, but is close enough to be a hindrance. It is too late to return it now, so I am stuck. I think I will go to a junkyard and find a used Toyota visor.I had lost faith in being able to find a replacement visor that worked as it should. I decided to go ahead and buy directly from Toyota and thought their product would cost more, but would perform properly. I went to ToyotaPartsDeal.com and found the exact replacement for my year and model. I installed it and lo and behold, it works exactly like the original product. The visor swings up and down with a firm resistance, snaps up to the ceiling when I fold it up, and stays out of my field of vision when I fold it forward. Plus, it costs half of what the ebay product went for! Sometimes third-party replacement parts work, sometimes they don't. In the end, though, I am relieved to have a sun visor that does not fall down into my field of view.
