Twice the cylindrical plastic piece that was glued to the visor, but affixed the whole business to the roof bracket was cracked. That leaves the visor hanging down and flopping while both ends are where they should be. I used some things to try to jam it together with no good result. That's why I settled for the paper clip and hat. ;) The visor is still viable, but useless. I paid $70 for a used visor with all parts including that triangular piece. However, it was no time that sleeve on the second visor cracked and my dealer declined to pay for a new one since a few months had expired.
