To boot the other one broke the week before when I lowered my visor a few days before. This pisses me off!!!!!!!!!

Cheap a$$ parts!!!!!!!!
Ezekiel 25:17."The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you."

It sure is cheap. A lot of members have broke theirs including me. If I recall correctly, it was like $15 at the dealer. I believe the new one are stronger then the original.

Makes me wonder if more of this is to come with a merger?

I ordered the stock ones last week from here:
http://partsformydodge.com/
$4.50 plus shipping. It was cheap though.
I picked up a lever for my rack crossbar ($7.50), 2 visor clips, 2 taillight wing nuts and a charger trunk switch... $30 with $10 shipping. Soooo much better than the dealer.
I'm gonna reinforce them with fiberglass before I install them.
I've heard of people having trouble installing the other 'non-mopar' clips. I don't know if it's true or not, I'm just not taking any chances.
I hope this helps.
Cheers,
Burleson

From the July 2006 Car & Driver Long Term Road Test.
"Also replaced at no cost was a sun-visor retaining clip that we broke. Normally, we'd attribute that to the staff's propensity to manhandle cars, but we eventually broke both of the Magnum's clips, so they may be especially frail."GONE: 05 RT AWD Black/Tan Leather/SiriusNav

Mine broke in my old 05 too, had it fixed under warranty. Assuming you're out of warranty?
If you can solve your problem, then what is the need of worrying? If you cannot solve it, then what is the use of worrying?
