Default Visor/Wind Deflector

Does anyone know how to make grip of the visor tighter? When I put the visor in the vertical position to deflect the wind when the top is down, the force of the air pushes it back down. I am trying to deflect the wind upward so it does not try to take my hat off. I have my seat at the lowest position.

You may have to go to Dealer, mine has stayed in upright position to 105 don't ask me how I know, but it did. I never have any issues with my hat like I did with the C6 I had........... but I'm only 5'8" and seat is up a tad so I look taller. LOL

Found my own solution. After sliding the visor outward on the shaft, I wrapped a single layer of Gorilla tape around the shaft. This increased the rotational resistance so that the visor remains in the upward position. I believe that any primate- or fowl-based tape will work.
