Did yours just fall out?.... Mine did and its definitly something you want on a car. I never realized how bad the sun can affect your vision without one. The metal part that allows you to swing to different positions just sheered itself apart.

IF you visor just fell out of the screwon piece...yes It can be fixed..all you need is a washer big enough to hold down the spring and a machine screw to place into the hollow tube end on the visor. Do a search..it is illustrated with pictures.

Rick, I did a search and can't find anything. I think might try in spring when the weather gets better. I tried a half assed repair a couple of years ago
with some rubber o rings only to have the thing fly off and hit me while
drag racing.
