Sunvisor clip - fixes??
Any ideas on any aftermarket part to replace this broken sunvisor plastic part? Seems to be getting quite fragile over time, and it brakes into pieces. Mazda does not offer it separately as far as I an concerned.

Unfortunately the original ESH release broke fairly easily. The replacements lasted longer, but eventually broke for me as well.

They are 3D Printed plastic. They seemed to work fine for rotating the visor up and down, but after removing and replacing it into the clip a few times they would crack.

Also, you can buy brand new sunvisors. Although, the ones I got didn't fit my roofline as nicely as original, so I assume they're for sunroof models.

Probably something metal would do the trick for long lasting? Someone has to 3d print it of course and produce it.

JP3 Motorsports has these for $12. 2 part 3d printed that clip together. They have worked just fine for me so far.

I grabbed some grey ones from Mazda MX-3. I still need to install but the trouble seems to be separating the two halves. May go JP3 route.
