Default Limp Sunvisors? they wont stay up....

just searched, didnt see anything on this.

My sunvisor wont stay up. I push it up (so away from the windshield) and it sags about 3 inches. So, I hit it with some good ole duct tape....however when I need them to...block sun...it ruins the tape with a few days.

There must be someone else with this problem. I was going to head to a junker to get a few more of these, but I was thinking it might not fix it.

I tightened the screws....didn't do anything. I swapped the passenger and drivers before, but it was like a few months and it was back....

any ideas...it drives me bananas!

Thanks

I think you need to replace the whole visor

I wonder if some sort of gasket maker would work to make them stay up, due to the consistency of it (act as a makeshift bushing?)

I looked online and it seems that the whole visor needs to be replaced.

Needless to say, I chuckled at the title...
I'm not sure whether I would have a limp visor, or one that has a broken retainer hinge so it is always wobbling in place...

The junk yard is a good solution though, PLENTY of undamaged visors ripe for the picking
