The drooping is cause by the internal support in the sunvisor bending/breaking. For me this was because the sunvisor and/or support rods had considerable rust that would not allow the sunvisor to pivot easily. If you kept the sunvisor interior pivot areas and the rods free of rust, ie lightly lubricated, you'll have no problem.

Make certain you keep the old sunvisors. The driver's side should have the starting instruction label which I understand is not made as a repo in the correct material. You may want to installed the label on the new sunvisor for show/judging purposes.
