sun visor support is broken

I am a true blue Ford enthusiast; heck, I bleed Ford blue when I am cut. However, I am pretty ticked that Ford is using cheap plastic on the sun visor support mounting brackets. To make matters worse, I am having to spend $125 for a complete new visor instead of just being able to remove and replace a $5 component. This Ford Escape has been a super reliable vehicle and relatively problem free, but stupid stuff like this plastic support bracket makes me question my next purchase. Both visors are broken at the moment, but I guess I will have to pinch pennies and do them one at a time.
