Find a good replacement, or use a bit > of velcro to hold the visor in place. my hint : instead of removing just the visor "blade" and pushing on another one, take off the whole thing including the rod fixed with 2 screws, and replace the whole unit, i think that sliding a new visor blade on and off makes this "falling visor" problem worse. (maybe because this orange plastic foam inside isnt as strong anymore after say 10 years and just gives way to the metal plate and spring that is supposed to hold the metal rod at the slits and doesnt correctly lock in anymore then) bye simon
