Probably not your product that caused the rattle Marc because my stock visors rattle when snapped into the factory holders. The holders are plastic and I think that, over time, the holders have expanded slightly each time the visor is snapped out and back in place. The fix is to replace the holders too. Nice
replacement product though, I
will be ordering a set
soon.

Okay Marc. Thanks for the awesome customer service 
I received the new and improved visors and decided to do a little experiment. I only replaced the passenger side and went on a ride down a bumpy road... No rattle! Then I decided to remove the electrical tape from the driver's side visor and go down the same road... Rattle. It even rattled on the way back to the house on fairly smooth roads. Weird thing is, the amount of play between the two visor rods in the holder seemed to be the same. I then drove back to the house and replaced the driver's side and went out for one last drive and... No rattle! No rattle on my way to work this morning either
So the question is... What's the difference between the first visors I received and the second????
The first set you sent are on their way back to you. I assume you are going to try them out? Let me know if you experience the rattle. I want to make sure I'm not

The important thing is no more rattling.

Safety Car
On my car the sun visors stay up ok and don't rattle. However, the outer part of both flop around because the flat core material has cracked at the slight bend. What material was used by GM and what material do the ones you sell use? What will keep the new ones from failing the same way? Also, what's Homelink?

The OEM visors have some type of particle board as the structure. The new ones are plastic and will never break or have floppy ear syndrome!

We have found another source for these. The can be found here on my web site. C5 New Sun Visors
It's a shame about the homelink--on eBay I noticed a vendor who will modify whichever visors you send him/her to gain the garage button. I thought it was around $40. B2B for an upgraded version seems a no brainer to me, but what do I know

The EARS stay up, but the material is separating, so for now I bought some sun visor, sun-glass holders they keep everything tight and they look good for $2.00

2002 Sun Visors
I need a set of black sun visors or someone to rebuild mine. I notice this thread has been dead for a while so I thought I'd see if anyone could help. Thanks, all

Me Too. Old Thread but floppy ears on my black 99 visors.
Anyone rebuilding? I could send mine to have rebuilt.
I ordered from Vendor in Oct 2014 and just got notification they can't get them.

I hope it wasn't Corvette Pacifica...after I ordered a set, they called and said they were O/Stock until the end of the month.
