What a concept. We need more people like yu!

I was able to repair the visor falling problem. Don't know how long it will last but it's fixable:
Remove the visor from the vehicle.
Carefully remove the shaft from the visor--it's about 4" long.
The shaft appears to be a hollow tube covered with vinyl.
You will probably find a portion of the vinyl worn away near the center of the shaft.
Use 5 minute EPOXY to build that area back up to the level of the vinyl.
After it sets (24 hours or so) carefully file the epoxy level with the vinyl so the shaft will fit back into the visor.
Reinstall the shaft. Reinstall the visor.
If you applied enough epoxy the visor should stay where you want it.

Hi,

Here is another option in fixing loose sun visor with I-link. This is what works for me.

- Remove the mirror/vanity light from the visor. It will hang by its wires.

- Locate where the shaft slides into the visor tube.

- With a box knife cut and remove the styrofoam to exposed the 3 tin tubes. The tin tubes are about one half inch long.

- Slide the visor off the shaft being careful not to break the electrical wires.

- With a plier gently squeeze the 3 exposed tin tubes.

- Slide the visor back in to the shaft. Visor need to be force back in if is too tight.

- Replace the mirror/vanity light in to the visor.

- If the visor is still loose squeeze the 3 exposed tin tubes again.

- Good luck. Hope this helps.

I need to repair my visor (if possible) but I'm not sure how you access the mounting screws for removal.

Thanks...
