I got a few cheap £5 passenger side visors sent to Finland. It was easy to swap the spring over to the broken drivers side and I still have a spare one if another spring goes.

In the end i gave up trying to drill it, none of my drill bits would touch it...so finally resorted to plan B...went on ebay and bought a replacement. From what i coud see from pics on ebay looks like mk3 Punt uses same visor. However i bought one described as Mk2....it said used but looks almost brand new to me. Anyway all fitted and at least i now dont have visor flopping around right in my line of vision

how did you pull out good spring? u cant lift it up or pull plastic out
I used a sharp knife to cut open about a 6cm cut along the join in the vinyl at the top next to the plastic.

metal clip is visible if you cut, but how are you gonna pull it out without destroying whole visor, thats the real question
I cannot remember what I had to do. However my clip was broken into two pieces.

The video i posted shows exactly what to do including how to get the metal clip out. What the video didnt show was how hard it is to drill a hole in the 2 pieces, none of my drill bits would touch it. In the end i gave up and just bought a complete visor

video only shows how to get broken clip out
Hi Flisko
Not sure what you are asking about.
Using my method you sacrifice a good wrong side visor to get a good clip for the correct side visor. Destroying the cheap wrong visor is not important.
Fairly sure putting the clip in was easy. Put it in place and then push in the rod for the holder that screws to the car.
