My '92 9000 acquired the droopy, sagging, loose, falling down driver's side sun visor problem. It finally annoyed my son (who also drives it) enough to remove it. Thanks to all who have posted about this problem.
Of the fixes mentioned in the 9000 FAQ, the plastic straw method seemed like the easiest and neatest. We were unable to find a suitable plastic straw, so we improvised with a piece of shrink tubing. We pulled out mounting bracket and rod, and cut a piece long enough to cover the area of the plastic insert, overlapping the rod 1/4 inch or so. Heated it to form-fit, and then shoved it back in. We just did it, so we can't share any reliability data yet.
The shrink tubing or straw must be placed over the larger diameter plastic section, not the small diameter rod that extends from it.
