You can try to shoot some WD40 in but be careful it doesnt go all over the interior. Some visors telescoped,those have nylon bushings inside and if they get dirt in them you have to remove them and clean.

A silicone based spray might work too.

I looked at the 78 AIM, it doesn't show anything other than how the visor is attached to the car.

Yup. It's more common for them to be loose than tight. Driver's side gets used more.

Sorta like women, when you first get them. Count yourself lucky that yours is still tight.
