Hi guys, I have recently acquired 2017 Western Star 5700 awesome truck, so far love it. Few minor issues I hope you can suggest how to remedy. When I picked up the truck on the way home I noticed the sun visor was rattling a bit, figured the nuts needed to be tightened. When I got home I discovered the two lower bolt studs that hold the sun visor bracket are snapped off. When I took off the interior panel above the dashboard from the inside the cab in attempt to reach behind the studs I discovered the cabin has interior metal layer and the backside of these bolts is unreachable.
How would you proceed with this repair? I was thinking just welding on two small SS bolts on top to reattach the visor bracket, however that seems like an ugly solution. Has anyone removed these bolts?

If your truck is a 2017, than it has a factory warranty left.
Take it to the Freightliner Stealership bodyshop and tell them to fix it.
It's a manufacture's defect. -
baha Thanks this.
