Visor help
The sun visors on my 71 are very hard to rotate. I am afraid that I am going to damage them every time I move them up or down. Any remidies you guy's have used to make them work easier. Thanks!

Unbelievable
There are probably many other things, but the way they designed those sunvisors (mine's a '72) has to be the stupidest (if that is a word) thing I have seen yet. What a bunch of crap, I could not even get the rods out of mine they were so bad (received that way). I am awaiting new ones, old ones are trash. Maybe I can keep these dry.

Try this...
I bought a used one at Bloomington Gold to replace one on my car that was damaged. It would not move! I mounted the rods that screw into the headliner frame and use the same screws and put them onto a 2x4 so as not to damage the inside windshielf frame. Then soaked the rod with WD-40 and let set. This also gave me the opportunity to clean the material too.
Since this visor would not move at all I thought this procedure of soaking and moving the visor would take days. It only took an hour the most!!
Removed the screws from the 2x4 and mounted the visor inside the car.
PS; Don't lubricate and loosen the visor too much. I think I did mine because it moves almost too easily now.
