Default Sun Visor Question

I have coupe and don't drive with my top off very much but have begin to notice that the stiffness of the visors on both sides is starting to weaken (assuming it's from the force of the wind pushing on them)...I drive with them in the up poisition otherwise I can't see out the window with them pushed in the full down...has anyone else noticed this issue? Also, then you lock the visors in place with the plastic bracket it takes little to no effort at all for them to pop back out...on both sides...anyone else notice this too? Any suggestions or solutions? Be nice!

I have had my C6 Coupe since last August. 4,000 miles. Sun visor holds its position well, up or down. But the plastic clip on the windshield header does seem to be weakening.

I only have 2000 miles on the Vert but have not noticed this condition. The majority of the time I am driving with the top down (the rule is if it leaves the driveway the top comes down).

Default Sunvisor Problem

I have the same condition on the passenger side. It's always popping out. Seems like a very poor design and wish someone could develop a fix.

Passenger side only, will not stay clipped. Looks like they forgot to measure the thickness of the mirror cover, it hits the lock lever for the top(coupe).

Mine too. I have to leave mine unclipped because of all the squeaking & popping coming from the visors rubbing against the roof panel.

Yes, it seems that the passenger side is the worst...what adds insult to injury is that the clip for that side is the one with the built in light (that shines down on the gear selector) that GM can't seem to produce enough of for repairs...
