SOLVED (w/ write-up): Help! Has anybody here ever replaced a sun visor on their Ranger?

[Glocker]

SOLVED!
I snagged a used visor from eBay, from a 2021 Ranger for $29.46 plus shipping. It was really easy to replace the damaged visor. You'll need a really small flat blade screwdriver and a 9/32 socket wrench.

There is a small cover over the mounting point of the visor.

Move the visor out of the way and use a flat blade screwdriver to carefully pop the trim cover off and out of the way.

There is a 9/32 fastener in the hole and the tail of a chord that pokes through the hole. Just remove the bolt and the mounting point is hooked into the roof and comes off easily.

Just make sure the chord of the replacement visor is poking through the hole like the visor coming off. I believe it is possibly a leash to retain the visor in a collision.

Anyways, it was super easy and it took longer to get the replacement piece out of the box and unwrapped than it took to replace.

Replacement visor done!

Here you can see the damage done by the air freshener on the original visor.

Damn beaver!

Somehow an air freshener got folded up on my passenger side visor and it has caused the vinyl covering over the visor so become distorted and wrinkled. I'm going to have to get one off eBay or something because it drives me nuts just knowing it's messed up.

Also, what color/s did they use for the sun visors in 2019? Were they all tan? I can't figure out if what I have is tan or gray, but I'm leaning towards a light tan color.

Ford calls it medium stone. I don't think they had black sun visors.

I didn't think they had black but I was wondering they had gray or just the tan color. I ordered one in medium stone fromeBay just now. Fingers crossed it works.

Write up on fix with photos in the original post up top.

This is the second time I have heard of damage due to air fresheners. What's is it that causes that?

It's the oils in the Air Freshener, they break down the plastic or vinyl and melt or make it bubble, especially when exposed to heat.
The same way (Plastic Worm-Lures) will destroy a tackle box.

That's what I was thinking. Take one Buc-ee's air freshener, add 1 billion degrees Fahrenheit of Florida's blazing sun, and waa law! Bubbled vinyl!

Well, I am approximately 2 years out from experiencing a Buc-ee's as they just broke ground on one in my general area - co-workers rave about them, I have yet to get the experience.
I will note to pass on by them and quell the urge to purchase.
Kind of curious what all the hub bub is about its going to have 120 Pumps which will be amazing to see in person.
I have been around the country and world for that matter for my career and do not remember ever seeing one, if I have, I forgot or never paid attention to the popularity of them.
I can see my wife buying a ton of candy and treats from them.

Mainly, Buc-ee's is a big spectacle. But, I love their food and snacks. They have a good brisket. They have a wall of jerky in a billion flavors. Tons of snacks. TONS!

The nearest Buc-ee's to me is 5 hours north of us (I live in South Florida). By neighbor's parents always bring me a Buc-ee's care package though, when they come south to visit.

Once that Buc-ee's opens near you, expect it to be ridiculously packed full of customers for several, several months.

I finally visited one not too long ago, actually had a couple days off with nothing planned so I decided to make a road trip to the one in MO. It is a spectacle for sure. Had a brisket sammich while there, it was good but nothing special IMO. Jerky wall was impressive though. And I will say the Buc-ee's Beaver nuggets were awesome, wish I bought more than I did lol. Surprised there were no Pepsi products for such a large store, so I settled for Dr Pepper lol. Next time I may go to the one in TX, see if anything is different.

It was my understanding that someone truly isn’t a USA American until they have bought something from Buc-ee’s…
At first I didn’t believe it, however once you have one of their sandwiches.. you feel like you tasted freedom ..
The next challenge is to walk out of there without buying a tee shirt and hat.

This was the last care package that my neighbor's parents brought me from their Buc-ee's in north Florida.

It's filled with Buc-ee's snacks.

I passed half the challenge, bought a shirt but not a hat
