    Default Sun visors

    Have had a look for this but didn't find. Maybe there but... Has anyone come up with a method that will tighten up sun visors especially the drivers side? Mine keeps falling down and is a b.... nuisance!

    i just pushed mine in against its joint cause it had slipped down al ittle and off of the teeth that hold it still.

    Hair dryer idea is good.

    Tried the tape idea. Didn't know what sort of tape so used some plastic insulation tape AND some masking tape. Seems to work well. Time will tell if it will last but tape is cheap and easy to change.
