I am having a problem with the driver's side sun visor on my Windstar. It doesn't stay in place when I position it to block the sun. I am not able to find a way to tighten it. My mechanic said they are not available at the dealer as a replacement part. I would like to find a used one and install it. I am not sure if I need a new visor or just a new mounting bracket. that will keep the visor snug when I reposition it. A related issue is that if I need to replace the visor I will need to match the color of the visor with the existing visor on the passenger side. I would be willing to buy a pair of them to achieve the match. If I am looking on line how can I tell if the color will match or at least come close to matching the existing interior. Is there anything in the VIN that I can compare with the replacement part that will tell me if I am close on the color match. I have never purchased any auto parts online. I live in a major metro area and have access to salvage yards but would prefer not to have to search from business to business in search of the parts. I have limited mechanical ability but would entertain ideas on a quick solution to make the visor usable again. I look forward to your thoughtful suggestions.
