I have 2 broken visor covers and a 3D Printer so I will eventually try printing out a pair once I create the 3D model.

While I am at it I may as well Emboss "Porsche" or "Boxster" on those visor mirror covers as well and fix the problem
that causes them to break in the first place.

Perhaps a couple tiny strong Neodium magnets instead of plastic hinge pins/sockets.

Hmmm, I just reread that above sentence and realized that I could just replace the hinge with magnets and
use the original broken flaps and fix them with about 5 minutes of dremel/glue work... eureka!!!

Off to order some tiny Neodium magnets.
