Drivers visor keeps dropping..

How can you tighten up the visors so they don't drop down while driving? Driver's side is bad.

Mid-America sells a visor refresher kit. Don't remember exactly what it's called, but it's only around $20, as long as yours has all the stuff but is just a little tired.

Edit: it's on page 89 of the catalogue I have. I bought the $24.99 suvisor elbow repair kit, but you should check some of the other listings as one of those might be closer to your needs.

Mine did the same in my 80...I went simply old school and removed the visor(remove pin) and put some electrical tape on the post(small amount so visor can stol slide over) and reinstalled and it has worked fine. Worked for me. All it cost me was a little time. Good luck.

Just remove and use a little rubber mallet persuasion, gently

They say this works for bits that have a tendency to droop.

Can't speak from personal experience though.

if its just drooping, all you need are these bushings:

just be carefull taking the visor off. I hit mine too hard and broke the arm, so I had to order the whole repair kit.
