Sun visor, keeps falling down Options

[theer]

My driver's side sun visor has a habit of working itself loose from the outside (left) mount.

I've remounted it several times, making sure the pin in set all the way into the mounts on both sides (and the square post properly oriented). But, if I tighten the screw holding the pin in tight enough to prevent the visor from drooping, moving the visor up and down sloooowly works the pin out of its mooring.

Anyone else had this problem and has found a fix?

Thanks,
Tom

Is the pin coming out of the mount or the visor? Pin should be stuck in the mount and the visor is too wide to fall out.

What Chris said. If the mounts are in their proper location and screwed down, if the pins are in their mounts then the pins are too long to let the visor fall off the round end of the pin. My guess is that you’ve got the pins so far into the visor and the pins are coming off the mount.

Try this. Put the outside pin in the visor, leaving only an inch or so sticking out of the visor. Hand tighten the screw to hold it the pin to the visor. Put the inside pin in the visor almost the entire length of the pin, leaving only an inch or so sticking out of the visor. Hand tightenthe screw for that pin. Lift the visor with the attached screws into positionon the mounts. You may need to loosen one of both screws in order to get the square end of the pins to enter the mounts. Push as much of the square end of each pin into its respective mount as you can. Remember, the square end needs to seat into the square area in the mounts. Once you’ve done that tighten the screws on the visor until the visors don’t flop.
