Default Sun Visors ?

Is there any way to repair them to keep them from chattering and make them look good again?

Try some piano wire from a hobby store. Get some of the really thin stuff and slip it inside the cover. You might want to shape it the way seat springs are shaped. That should get rid of the floppy end problem.

If you remove them and take them to a good shop they should fix and recover both for about $35. No hassel and the job is done. Looks great.
