I've replaced worn out visors on many cars. Usually, 3rd party stuff is available for $30 or so. In fact, I had a 2003 G35 previous to this and had no problems finding a replacement.
But with my 2008 - no one seems to make a replacement visor. I've found one site that wants almost $200 and ... that's it.
I can buy used or salvaged visors but I fear they'll be as bad as the floppy one I already have.
Am I overlooking something? Can I use a different year / model's sun visor?
Any pointers are appreciated.

Is it possible to fix the one u currently have? Sometimes its easier to fix it rather than replace it.

You can probably just wrap the stem with electrical tape for more resistance as an alternate method.

I buy replacement OEM parts like that on eBay if I can't find them locally at a pick n pull.
Thanks, guys! I bit the bullet and paid for an expensive OEM part. I was hopeful someone would say, "a 2003 visor will work," or "try this site" or something. But thanks for the suggestions. Happy to have a visor that stays put.
