Cure for droopy visor?

Any cure for this problem? I've been using electrical tape hehe. I can push it up, but after a couple of bumps it's right back down. I know I can't be the only one

If you have standard non tele visors... sure there is. Pull the visor off the rod, lay a towel on top of the visor and tap to tighten up the reinforcement on the rod.

On your car and with standard visors.... there is a metal frame that goes around the rod and holds tension. Tapping this down a little bit and then driving the rod back in will solve the problem.

Huh!!! You would think a business like Willcox would try to sell you new ones, but instead, they tell you how to fix the old ones! You just don't see that much anymore. I am going to make a point of buying something from Willcox in the near future just because of this!

Keep the shiny side up!

There is a reason for the towel. When you start to tap or grip or whatever that visor material is fragile and can easily tear.

I have the telescopics and my driver side is a bit floppy. I thought about replacing the plastic bushing, then I flowed just a tad of thin cyanoacrylate glue in and it has worked well! Kind of Bubba, but you would never know it

Seems mine is the telescoping kind. Didn't know till I tried to remove it

. Anyway, I just put some plumbers puddy on the bushing. Waiting for it to dry to see if it's going to work. If not I'll be in the market for a new bushing

Thanks for the help guys
