Default Sun Visor Floppy Ears

Anyone have any ideas as to fixing the floppy ears on the visors. Mine are starting to hang down all the time and I think one of them has broken about half way up the crease :D

Looks like "stichinproducts@msn.com" is no longer a valid email.
Does anyone have a recondition outfit for visors?

Better Yet, Get two of the black clips that you use to hold Thick papers together. Works fine for me. About 2 cents each..You can remove the metal clips once you have them installed..

I used years ago window blind someone was throwing out, cut it to size, and slid it under the vanity mirror all the way to the end, and tucked it in, now it's straight and spring loaded, works great, they have been installed now for 15 years, still working.
Here is shot from the back, visor nice and straight. Oh the Blue car is my RX8, fun car.

What a great idea. I wish I knew this before I bought my new ones last year.
