Default Loose Sun Visor

Has anyone solved the loose passenger sunvisor problem? I've seen it mentioned some time ago without a fix, and mine is prepetually flopping out of the retaining clip. Thanks!

I have noticed mine in the past week coming loose. It is not a big deal, but now that I have noticed it, it becomes aggravating. Does anyone have any ideas short of going by and getting the dealer to order me a new one? Seems I read of a fix (maybe heating the connection point??) but I can't find it.

Mine since very early on (January), but I can't say it concerns me too much. I am much more concerned about paint coming off my car like you can just rub it off.

I noticed this same problem- when the visor is flipped down it will disengage from its clamp easily.
I think the only fix is to have the clamp replaced and I intend to have the dealer replace this when I go in for my first oil change.
Just another General glitch, but thank god a minor one- however annoying!

Thanks for the tip mine has done this since Oct last year but it's not all the time just every once in a while, but the tape should help.

Thanks

And I thought mine was the only one with this problem.
Passenger visor always off the holder (plastic piece with that orange light through it) after a day of driving
or pops off whenever you flip it down and back up to remove the roof.

It did bother me enough to mention to dealer and they had to order the holder piece. Seems like only one screw to remove/replace.
Quick replacement of the holder and it is tight as the driver side, never pops off by itself.

Get the dealer to replace it and never worry about it again .

Derail:

Paint is coming off at the lower edges of the rear fenders at the door openings and at the leading edges of the doors at the bottom. It's the one thing I may have to go back to GM for a redress of grievences.
