I got two CD visor holders. They've got CD slots on one side and Longhorn logos on the other, with stretchy fabric holding them together. Keeps my visors from rattling for well under $20.

i had a hunch there would be a simple fix. Have you had any visor droop problems with the extra weight?

Since the visors are pretty much unuseable due to low roof height, you could remove them. If I put my visors in the down position it becomes instrument flight rules only.

I bought new visors for my C4 and they rattled.I took some stick on velcro,just the fuzzy side,and stuck in on the inside of the lid in several places and it completely stopped the rattling.

If your problem is that the top clips have broken I came up with a fix using zip ties
