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 |

I do have the early chrome pins.
Rob - that is exactly how I am mounting the visor. Chris - the pin is coming out of the mount... pushing itself back into the visor. the flipping up & down of the visor slowly pull the pin in. So, are the pins normally permanently glued into the mounts and mine are just broken? |

So, are the pins normally permanently glued into the mounts and mine are just broken? I had this same issue, and ended up buying some new ones online. They were solid plastic so I run the risk of snapping the pin, but they haven't come out of the visor since I went to a solid piece. I don't THINK they are glued in originally, but my car was over 40 years old when I got it. |
