While my car is away having its paintwork sorted out finally, my attention is turned to a couple of little jobs that need sorting out.
My car has been 100% retrimmed inside, including the sunvisors. Now the visors are no heavier now than they were before they were re-trimmed with new vinyl. However they sag under their own weight which is mildly annoying when driving as they constantly drop down into my line of view when I dont need them. (One is worse than the other at playing this game)
So, I've been thinking on how to remedy this and thought it worth a post to see if anyone has come up with a fix. My options as I see it are as follows:
1. Replace the fixed clips. (One can hope its as simple as this
)
2. Replace the swivel and arm section that is part of the visor. (I'd prefer not to as it might result in damage to the visor or result in needing a new visor altogether)
3. Modify the fixed clip or the swivel end to stiffen up the angle movement of the sunvisor.
I've not ripped open an old sunvisor so I'm not sure what there is inside to modify (I doubt its much, I thought it was just a bar possibly with some form of light frame), or whether its just the ball/swivel at the fixed end that needs a tweak of some sort. I've thought that the fixed clips might be worn so much that they just dont stop the visor from drooping, but I thought that they were only there to keep it located in place horizontally, rather than stopping its angle from changing.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated?
