Default Any solution or fixes... sagging visors?

I don't know what's inside them but mine don't tuck up nicely. Anyone else have "saggy" visors and maybe fixed them?

Unless your a diva or have a crazy *** girl who looks at her self in her car 24/7 then they are really not needed! I just took them off and screwed back in the metal triangles. It looks 100 times better without them and the whole car will have a cleaner look. I can post pics if you want. Just my 2 cents

Thats a good idea. Mine are sagging and I really don't use them much.

I had them out before and have some great plastic for this purpose in black with texture. Only thing is I was getting blasted by the Sun when out and I like to use them to hold up my front windshield heat shield.

Post the pictures if you have them.

Do a search for visors removed and a couple of links will come up with some solutions.

Now, for constructive input: you can maybe retrofit visors that are much sturdier.

when you unscrew the three screws holding it in look at the part that was hidden. (back part of the triangle) there will be a silver circle looking piece at the very top that you need to remove. (its holding down the spring and all the other junk) i used a flathead screwdriver and alot of explicit language to get mine out. bend, break, work, that little piece like a MF and watch out when it comes off cause the spring will shoot off the triangle. i just worked mine up a little then slammed the little sliver piece into my work bench and it broke off.





sorry about the crappy pics; it was dark when i took them

Guess I will bring them in this Winter and tear them apart. See if I can't put a piece of rigid metal in they to hold them straight with the headliner.

Mine both broke off and flew at passengers at random times by themselves... I did like my Drivers side one to hold my insurance/registration, garage door opener and some CD's. Oh well

I have a 5% strip and it doesn't really help at all with the sun. I either use my visors or I throw on shades or both depending on the day and what I have with me.
