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 have super glued the pins in. We replaced the center mount in Betty's car last year. I glued a set of metal pins into it when I got it. No problems since I did that.

Most of the sun visors are slightly warped, so the pins move up and down a little each time you move the sun visors. I have actually considered getting some steel rod the same size as the pins, and running it all the way through the sun visors. Trim the rod to the correct length and file some flats on both ends. Once installed the sun visors can't come off because of the fixed rod length.
