Super Quick Visor Fix
I know there have been a few other dog ear visor fixes on here lately. Here is how I fixed mine. All you need are a couple of large Wire or Cable Ties. Cut the flat part of the tie to about 5 inches.
Before
Slide the cut straps under the edge of the mirror housing and either under or over the fiber board that is under the fabric.
Once the strap is in position just slide the exposed end under the edge of the mirror housing.(I should of cut the straps befor I took the pics.)
After
Dont mind the messy garage, I'm working on it....

I would just like to thank you for one of the easiset quick tips that I have ever seen. I completely forgot about your post. I came home and was doing some body repair, and clay-barring. I came in, opened a drawer, and saw some 7" twist-ties. I went out and tried your remedy. My visors are straight!!!!! Thanks, bud.

Great idea.
I have a different problem. When I move the passenger visor it is tight and makes a noise like it needs to be lubed. How hard is it to remove it and check it out ? Any other suggestions ?

So the tie strap just slides under the mirror assy with no cutting? If so, that's an awesome tip.
This came just in time. Both my visors have the dog ears and I was ready to slice them open to repair, and wondering if I should buy one of those cheap hand held stitchers to sew it back together.
