Interior Color

I need to replace one of my sun visors and they list two shades of gray>>> 'clear gray' and just 'gray'!
How do I know which one is mine?

wspy, have you tried searching with your VIN, to see if one of the choices is eliminated?

Found a parts dealer that had the parts listed with a ref to interior color!
i.e. >> clear gray ::: interior A-Black
>> gray ::: interior B-Gray



My color code on the door jam sticker reads NH700M -A -A where the first A is the interior color code..........so from the above ref I'm assuming my interior color is the clear gray, since I have black seats.

Thanks wspy! I have to ask, how did your visor break? Mine broke too, and I was also looking for the color code. Why would they call it "CLEAR grey"…what's clear about it?!

I think there is another grey that is not as 'clear' i.e. darker

I park in the sun allot and use a sunshade. The visor breaks by the hinge and happens when you are stowing the visor. The plastic that the hinge is mounted in gets brittle from heat and causes the inserted part of the hinge to break/pop out of the mounting.

I fix it (until the new one arrives) by using a sharp razor blade and cutting open the clothe at the seam, then removing some of the Styrofoam to get to the broken plastic where the hinge sits. Re-insert the hinge and use JB Weld epoxy to hold it back in place. I then use crazy glue to re-seam the grey clothe.

That usually works quite well and I keep that visor in use till it breaks again then I may try fixing again or just toss it and install the new one.

This has happened to both my visors now
