We have a couple MBZ 450SLs here, '76 and '77.

The outboard ends of their sunvisor rods are ball joints. The visors can
swing all over, and hang straight down, when the inboard ends aren't
plugged into their sockets by the rearview mirror.
The inboard ends use plastic pegs, which break a few years after their
mating sockets have broken.

Replacement visors were about $350 EACH, eight or so years ago,
said the dealership parts guy. And they're shitty visors, no sculpted
beauty, no flip-open or sliding features, nothing other than being a
most basic sun blocker.
