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.

It was a few years ago, but I think I just beat on it with a hammer. Seriously.

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.
