Usually my reproduction visors go the other direction - angled upward toward the ceiling. I tried to bend one on the truck and it cracked one of the cast ears off the mounting base.

As far as yours swinging out toward your head, it's probably a function of the spring not exerting sufficient pressure. Unfortunately I don't recall that being adjustable.

Since you have two problems with yours, I'd recommend getting a replacement. Try Classic Parts; I've gotten four from them and never had that problem. And whatever you do, don't oil it.
