Visor mirrors

Recommended Posts

Every vehicle I've ever owned has had visor mirrors. Not the nv. It's crazy, my wife wants this remedied. Has anyone found any aftermarket lighted visor mirrors that work well?

had a customer put one of those plastic dollar store mirrors underneath the clip on the visor. Haven't heard of an aftermarket one at all.

I found some on Amazon, pretty crappy reviews.  I bought one anyway.  I'll give it a try and report back.

Hahaha, same here. Wife was happy as a clam through week 1 of ownership, until she wanted to check herself in the mirror. I saw her reach up for the visor, and tried to distract her by asking if I could spend over $1000 on her birthday present this year, but it failed. She was like "what the #*~^, a new van with no mirror!?"

 

A simple fix, but Nissan should be listening to this.....

OK I got the mirror 'installed' over the weekend.  I say 'installed' because it didn't really go according to plan.  For starters, the clips on this thing don't fit over the visor.  I took them out and tried using zip ties to wrap it around the little business card holders.  The spacing didn't match up so I had to get a little more creative.  I ran a zip tie through the back of the mirror long-ways and then ran one through the clip on the visor.  It's up there, and it looks OK, but it is a little loose, so it takes 2 hands to open it.  No problems with the visor closing with this mirror on there.  I also shaved a little bit off the little clip that holds it closed.  It was way too tight.  

 

The one I bought was the Bell 22-1-00449-8 Large Lighted Visor Mirror.  Here's what it looks like now.

Looks pretty good... but the real question; does the boss like it? :)

She said 'this will work' which is code for 'I'm not entirely happy but don't spend any more time or money on it.'
