Visor problems
 

This is probably a very simple fix, but wanted to run it by you guys before I attack it.

My interior drivers side covered visor is falling down on me when i drive. The problem is at night, the thing doesnt want to stay up and i would rather it go up or down on demand rather than always down.

Is there a screw I turn to tighten it, or is this something i will need to replace all together?

Its a standard visor, appears to be the original or an original repro.

Thanks

No help here, all mine had when I bought it was the rod, I sewed up a piece of old levi's like a curtian with some 1/8" masonite inside and let it flap. I'm short so it doesn't hit me in the forehead.

Try slightly bending the rod to put some friction on the visor.

Thats would I would do. I don't think there is really anything that holds it on to the shaft. It's just friction.

I looked at one I have with a visor. The masonite is attacked to a round spring steel bracket that slides over the rod. The circle doe not close, so you can compress it to get more friction to hold the visor in place.

These are good ideas... also, rather than bending the rod, could i put the female end of the visor into a bench vice and wouldnt that make the fit tighter as well?

I guess i can always bend back the male end, but i cant bend back the female part.

Or do i risk ruining the black exterior material of the visor?

Thanks

I would think protecting it with a towel and using oak to clamp it would protect the material. Vice grips might be enough.

Just get an outside visor and you can throw those inside ones away for good!

Oh i plan on it... thats the long term plan at least. In the meantime i think ill just bend the rod.
