What are these called?

Can I replace them? The passenger one doesn't have a mirror and I want to get thinner ones since they're really thick and can't hang my garage remote on them

Sun visor. Not something that you can find with generic branding in hopes of finding something slimmer in the hopes it will fit.

tbh you can swap it for a mirrored version, as for your remote use a fabric/elastic/velcro band or change your remote for an incar one

You can get OEM Yaris visors with mirrors, but the visors won't be any thinner.

Slightly off-topic, but it's probably best that you can't hang your remote from the visor. Thieves will break into a car, steal the remote, and steal insurance or registration paperwork that shows your address. Then they go and break into your garage, and your home if it's attached to your house. Leave your remote is hidden in your glove box. Never leave your remote exposed, because it's like leaving your house key out in the open.

Thanks guys! By the way, what I wrote is not theoretical. It happened to someone in my family. Vehicle was stolen out of a parking lot. A couple days later, cops located the vehicle, on blocks. Apart from the tires, the only other things stolen was the garage door remote and insurance paperwork with the home address. Don't worry, the frequency for the garage door opener was changed before any thieves got a chance to use the remote.

Hanging the remote on the visor is not a wise decision because the home address of car owners most often guides thieves. In addition, if they steal your car and drive up to the automatic door and automatic driveway gate, they will be able to get into your garage without much trouble. They may not even have to break into the garage. So beware of such a break-in and put the remote in a more secluded place. In any case, many users have already warned you about this several times. Anyway, good luck!
