Drooping sun visor due to broken clips? On your second or third set of plastic ones? Go stainless instead.

They came as a pair from Pelican. Worth it.

Is it just the close up picture or does it look kind of coarsely cut with scratches, etc.? I'm wondering if they'd benefit from a deep polish and/or powder coating/ Powder coating does a great job of creating smooth surfaces on stuff like that...

Edit: Of course, I guess the original plastic piece isn't exactly a work of art either, with mold lines, etc., and it's not anyone is ever studying the surface texture of the sun visor clips.... :crazy:

Agree with comment on coarseness. Polish to high shine would be nice, but powder coating in black would most likely better match interior, along with black screws.

Would just need a little dot of high-temp tape to protect the ball bearing clip thingie....

I think I remember someone selling black anodized ones, or perhaps black powder coated ones, but who knows when that was.

When I was putting together a parts order, I needed a few more items (or one valuable enough item) to get free shipping. Pelican stocked the stainless ones. So I bought those.

The extreme close up isn't doing any favors to the surface finish. In person and at a glance they look fine, but they would benefit from a polishing, for sure.

These are the Rennbay Stainless Visor Clips that I purchased.
These are interesting, too: Rennline Visor Clips with Go-Pro Mount

The stainless clips I purchased from Paragon Products in 2013 & 2017 were also made by Rennbay as the P/N was RB-104.3, but my two sets were nicely finished. I'll see if I can get a picture, but right now I'm too lazy to remove the car cover on the 951 and the S2 is outside under 12" of snow.
