Loose sun visors

My sun visors are loose. Not the rods them selves, I installed brand new ones so the visor to the face is gone. But they are loose on the rods themselves, so any vibration they fall down. Any ides on what I can do to fix this?

Maybe a little epoxy glue on the rod before the visor is slid on....if that's the type you have, not sure.

The visors are in okay shape, I might have them redone or try and find an NOS set. Its just the the metal tube the sun visor rod slides into. I guess it has lost an resistance and they move freely and aren't "tight" on the rod.

I got the rods brand new at Fox Resto. for 12.99 each, you can't beat it for the price.

what happens if you wedge the visor in front of the windsheild trim? i'll take a picture of what i'm talking about if you don't understand

The early FOMOCO's had a clip mounted to the interior trim panel that the rods just laid in.
Pull out and up to turn down the visor reverse process to put back in place.
I think it was back in the early to mid 60's.
If you want to get inventive try a garment hanger hook used in the rear seats.

Red 78' will become famous soon enough
When mine did fall down, I used a 1/2" round dot of Velcro to hold mine up when not in use.
When I put in a new headliner, I left the visors off, and put a 6" strip of dark window tint on the windshield.
So now I will never have that problem again.
