My passenger side visor is starting to droop. Is there an easy fix for this.

Bob

the easy fix is attaching a potato chip bag clip - $1.

a 2d way is surgery to the visor, seems a few parts
inside break and there you have the notorious fix with a
clear tube that should last a couple of years - a weekend and a few $$$..

the 3rd way i know is the visor clutch that currently sells for about $80 each

Only problem with this one is the price...

I did find the photos of the hose fix on the "other" site. I might try that one

Thanks

also another way to fix the problem is to take them off and throw away and you will never have that problem again.

My $2 fix takes 3 seconds. Got the potato bag clip in BLACK with RED handle.

Matches the liner and the red stripping well. Almost OEM.


That other fix, the install a rubber tube, etc .. takes a full weekend, you hope nothing breaks
in the process and you get about two seasons out of it? I either dont have the time or motivation.

If the potato clip is good enough for zinzin, it is good enough for me.

Before I bought a new visor I had improved the "potato chip clamp" with an "MIT" refined version using a clipboard purchased at staples
