The Ford Barn

I have a big smile on my face every time I drive my 1951 Ford coupe. He have lots of sunny days here. Only one problem. The left and right sun visors don't stay up very well. Is there a way to tighten them up to prevent them from coming down? HELP!

Could be a screw at the mount end to tighten. Then it could be sheet metal and you might cruse it a bit more to tighten. On some newer visors they had plastic sleeve. A bit of heat can distort the plastic an make it tighter.

Thanks, I'll take a closer look and see if that will do it.

If it's just the visor part and not the rod that is moving, bend the rod a tiny bit to make a tighter connection
