The passenger side sunvisor (brand new) seems to stay put at whatever angle you adjust it at until you go over a bump in the road, then it falls down under its own weight. I vaguely recall reading somewhere something that you can do/replace with the bushing that holds it up to make it less loose but I can't find that anymore...anybody know what to do? o No:
Good Luck Welcome to the land of GM 70's sunvisors! This was a common problem and frankly one I haven't solved yet. I did buy a sunvisor bushing kit from http://stores.ebay.com/vinyl-specialties , and their new tips plus bushings to insert where the tips are inserted did help, but maybe 50%. I also tried tightening up the screw at the base of the visor but it's as tight as it'll go. So my next avenue is to see if I can find something that will increase the size of the bushing just a bit. Or maybe wrap a bit of tape around the rubber visor tip to create more resistance. But for now, I still have the same problem. ou:
See I didn't even know those visor bushing kits existed until after I posted this...probably gonna try one of those then see where I'm at
So I put in a new nylon support sleeve and tightened the screw...then I notice the aluminum bracket the visor pivots in had a nice chunk of it above the nylon sleeve cracked off...yay! one more thing to replace :sleep:
Got mine fixed! OK, the purists out there may have conniptions, but I tried something wild and crazy. I went through my supply of screws and bolts, and found a screw just a litttttle bit bigger than the original one that tightens up the visor. I am hugely happy to report that my sunvisors are now fully and properly working!!! :grin: :grin: :grin: They stay put when needed, and they come down only when "I" make them do so! (The screw had a Robertson head, and I also found out that the hole it goes into actually goes right through the fitting, ie it's not a "dead end". The new screws stick through the hole about 1/2 a thread, but to me the end result makes that totally acceptable!!!!! :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:
sun visors Just had " http://stores.ebay.com/vinyl-specialties" do the visors on my 83 riv conv. Very good
