Is that the price for the entire sun visor, or just the mirror and lid that sit inside the visor? And if just the mirror and visor, does it just pop in (press fit)?

I bought new mirror/cover assemblies for about $40/piece off eBay. They pop in.

Good to know, thx. I'm guessing these are the non lighted sets, as I think the lighted ones need to be soldered.

Be careful if you replace it not to pinch the wiring behind it like I did and causing a short. I kept blowing the 15 amp fuse for the convertible top micro-switch and whatever else was on that fuse until I figured out what I did. It drove me crazy for a few weeks until I discovered what happened. I can't believe I did that, but I did.

Thx, I replaced the whole visor. So far so good.
