Will this kit actually fix my floppy Vanagon sun visor for good?

Yes! Our Sun Visor Socket Replacement Kit is specifically designed to eliminate 'Floppy Sun Visor Syndrome.' Unlike the original factory parts, these 3D-printed sockets feature an adjustable tension screw, allowing you to tighten or loosen the grip so your visor stays exactly where you want it.

Is the installation difficult for someone who isn't a professional mechanic?

Not at all. GoWesty designed this kit for easy DIY installation. It includes all the necessary hardware for both the driver and passenger sides, and we provide a detailed PDF instruction guide to walk you through the process of upgrading your visor setup.

Does this socket kit fit all Vanagon models and interior colors?

This kit is compatible with all Vanagons from 1980 through 1991, including 2WD, 4WD Syncro, and various trim levels. To ensure it matches your interior, we offer the sockets in both Black and White to provide a seamless look once the visor is reinstalled.

What makes the GoWesty version better than finding a used original part?

Original plastic sockets often crack or lose tension over decades of use. The GoWesty GVW-VISOR-SOCKET-KIT is an engineered improvement over the stock design. Because you can adjust the tension, you won't have to worry about your visor drooping again after a few months of use.
