Default 2006 s-Type sun visors

Looking to replace my sun visors, as they are missing mirrors and are relatively broken. Is there anywhere I can order them for cheap? Every place I've looked so far wants around $150 for a pair, and I don't want to go to the dealership and have it marked up 1000%.

eBay is your friend in this case.

Went thru this on my old 2005 STR. Be careful about any used ones as they are most likely in worse shape than yours!
I had the material coming off and bunching up. There are no cheap ones and no shop I could find would recover them either.

So it's a bad answer but I had to finally buy them new from Jaguar at over $250 each.
Not cheap but they were factory and made the interior look new again.

Yes I was not happy but they were getting worse and I had no other choice.
I had a nice STR and it just looked terrible with the messed up sun visors.
They are right in your vision all the time so hard to ignore compared to the rest of the interior.

The only complaints I had on quality were the sun visors and the head liner.
Both needed replacing and thankfully you can get aftermarket headliners installed for very competitive prices BUT NOT sun visors!!

Craigslist would have been a viable alternative, as I see plenty of S-Type part-outs.

But that's the problem? They are all aged and the glue will fail. It's just a matter of time.

I do wonder if Jaguar improved them? After I got the new ones I had the car for another 3 years or so and they were still in like new condition when I sold the car.

The upholstery shop I used sewed new visors. They came out like factory. I paid $600.00 for headliner, moon roof panel and 2 sun visors. I removed all and installed. Would have been $800.00 if they did all the work.
