Default Visor falling off, help

So my wife and I went for a ride, beautiful night, top down. She opens the visor to use the mirror and it seems to be very lose at the top. I waited till I got home to look at it and it is lose, I don't see how its mounted with anything, no glue or screws I can see! Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. Not sure if it matters but its an 01 Vert.

I used some zip ties through the inside of the visor and some needle nose plyers to pull them through. You never see the zip tie afterward, and the mirror doesn't fall off anymore!

Thanks, I'll consider that. I was considering removing the light covers and see if I could screw into the wood backing.

Try this idea I posted. Mine is still in good shape after a couple of years.
