Wrong size sun visor

 
Sometimes not all purchase for the car is just plug and play and fit good. This time I make a small mistake. 
It does look the same but nothing is correct with the original. 

The first mistake, the colour is wrong. I got something too beige and not gray enough as the original.

Second mistake, the size. It is much smaller than the original which ended up couldn't even fit the clip at the end. Luckily the screw fit.
This is the comparison between the original and the new.
Here you can see the visor is much shorter.

Anyway, it works and we doesn't look up when driving so we will not notice the problem. So I will be thinking of getting a new one soon. 

Gotta check the size and colour properly next time. Lazada not so good this time.

Carpet holder

 

Have you heard this before ? It is something non important before I heard about the stuck carpet that causes accident. This is actually a clip that will fix your carpet at a fix position.

If you have an original carpet that comes with the car, it should have this clip. If you don't then you might need to invest in one. But make sure your carpet have the hole to hold this.

This is how it look when it is fix down. It will make the carpet neat. Before this, the carpet will push up and get folded near the foot rest.

Now, I will be happy that the carpet will stay in place. And you can buy this clip from Lazada for cheap.

Interior car handle replacement

Do you have the same problem as mine ? The interior handle drop down and it won't retract back up ? It make the interior look messy and old. So after searching in Lazada, I got one of the replacement from China. Cost RM20 each and look great too.
Just use a flat screwdriver to ply it out and you can pull it out later.
The original cover.
The replacement. Colour is different. I bought a beige colour but it look more like light gray.
The colour of the handle look different between the clip and the handle.
This is what happened when pulling the original out. It just broke and the plastic get brittle. 

Hope this will help. It doesn't cost much to make it good. Next is going to buy the driver side sun cover.
