My father-in-law's Mini Cooper didn't come with covers for the sun visors as they had broken off. Apparently they don't sell these covers, and want you to buy the entire mirror assembly which is bonkers.
Full disclosure, the design of the mirror itself is kind of dumb as there are two plastic nubs holding in the cover, but based on the cover itself and where the holes need to be placed, there's still a decent amount of stress on the shell, so even these "redesigned" covers (I didn't have an original to go from so I just kind of winged it) will likely eventually fail.
If you wanted a more permanent fix, you could likely grind down the "nubs", drill through, and remix the part to include the nubs on the cover itself rather than the "female" part of the visor.
In any case, save yourself the money on a new set of mirrors and just print this, it seems to work great.
Edit: Added the "male pins" version, but somehow managed to lose my original F3D, so had to redo the design.
