Default Floppy Sunvisor Quick Fix

If you own a C4 you know how annoying those floppy sunvisor ends are. Well here is a quick fix that looks good, takes less than 5 minutes to do and will cost you less than $5.00.

Buy a length of 1/2" split wire loom (black). Cut two 3" pieces (one for each sunvisor), open the split and slip it over the sunvisor centering it on the weakened score of the sunvisor. And that's it. Still flexible BUT not floppy.

There was a recent thread from a CF member who took the stainless steel inserts from an old wiper blade and stuck them inside the visor fabric completely where they didn't show. OP's fix is good, too, but this way is likely undetectable.
