Default Sun Visor

My 95 LT1 Coupe has a broken sun visor on the driver's side. The end of it has broken inside the cover. Seems that I saw something about this posted before, but haven't been able to locate the post.

Any ideas on repairing it short of replacing it?

I've got instructions on how to fix that without removing the visor. There's a pdf attachment so I need a real email address (not the email function that the Forum provides) to forward it to you. You can post it here or PM me with it...

Default It worked for me

Thanks to TobiJohn for the idea. I just went to Walmart and bought a pair of 12" stainless steel school rulers for $1.97 ea. After removing the cork backing I slid them behind the sin visor mirrors. Voila, nice and rigid sun visors. It worked for me.

Maybe Andy Bogus could include a blurb in the C4 FAQ sticky thread: "And for a fix for those unsightly floppy visors, email CF member tobijohn"....
