Description

If you have a 2018 or newer Jeep Wrangler JL or Gladiator JT, you will experience this issue. The sun visors are held on with a cheesy plastic clip and they will break and the visor will randomly fall in your face at the most inopportune moments. Just print 2 of these, remove the 2 screws near the visor mount (T-20 Torx bit required) and install these. Just need to replace the original screws with longer ones, I'm not sure of the exact size, I just found some in my garage that fit.

These can be installed even if yours hasn't broken yet, to reinforce the crappy OEM part.

I printed with Carbon Fiber reinforced PLA. PLA+ or PETG will probably hold up well. Time will tell, if they break, I will just print more. But there isn't much force on them, so they should last a while.

UPDATE: 6/13/22 - The PLA with CF has deformed significantly with the summer heat in TX. Other tests show that PETG cannot handle the heat either. I have reprinted with ABS and will report back with the findings, but so far other tests are showing positive results.

FilamentUSD / printApplication notes
PLA$17.50Indoor prototypes; not a default material for hot vehicle interiors.
PETG$18.00General-purpose candidate; heat and creep need review.
ASA$18.50Candidate for UV exposure; verify temperature and geometry.
ABS$18.50Enclosed printing; review application and dimensions.
TPU$20.00Flexible designs only; not a substitute for rigid materials.
Nylon$20.00Moisture, tolerances and application require review.
PA-CF$21.00Filled nylon; abrasive filament and fit need review.
Pricing assumptions and exclusions

USD: ($6 setup + $3 finishing + filament weight × assumed spool cost × 1.25 waste allowance + print hours × $2.50 × material time factor) ÷ 0.65. Rounded up to the next $0.50.

Assumed spool costs per kg: PLA $25, PETG $30, ASA $40, ABS $30, TPU $45, Nylon $65, PA-CF $95. Time factors: PLA/PETG 1.0, ASA/ABS 1.2, TPU 1.6, Nylon 1.4, PA-CF 1.5. These are proposed shop rates, not measured production costs.

Design work, test fitting, hardware, shipping and tax are additional where needed. Multi-file sets may need several prints. Use actual sliced weight and time when available. Final pricing is confirmed in writing.
