Default Sunvisor falls down =(

Does anyone else have this problem? Mine just started happening this week. When I drive with the roof off my coupe, I keep the sun visors down, and push them all the way forward. That has worked well for the last year that I've owned my C5.

This week, however, whenever I drive on bumpy roads/accelerate/whatever, it keeps falling down, and getting in the way! Both the drivers and the passengers, and they started doing this at the same time... Any ideas? Solutions?

I really don't like the visors "up", I think it looks tacky, and I believe it ruins the mirrors. I actually had new visors installed (thanks GMPP) when I got the car, because those mirror lights wouldn't turn off; they were falling apart.

I actually had a similar problem on my coupe as well, a little piece from the mirror on the visor became wobbley, so i then used some good 'ole fashion electric tape (to match black color), little here little there and everything stays afloat now.
I like my visors up that way it doesnt get in the way when looking straight out, but w/e makes you happy works!

I'm seriously considering taking mine off. I don't have a problem with them slipping but they block my view slightly, in order to have a full view out the windshield I have to swing them into the full up position which I agree looks tacky. I've done some cursory looking into how to do this but nothing obvious jumps out at me. Anyone know how to do this?
