The driver side sun visor in my 5/71 240Z has the droops.  It just won't stay in the up position.  Is there a hack for restoring the friction necessary to keep a visor from drooping?  

Didn't find any fixes when I searched the archives first.

Thanks

Tighten the screw…..

Which screw?

This one

Hmmm, neither of my sun visors have that screw.  

Nissan didn't use fuzz.  You know where it is...

Fuzzy visors mean only one thing; you're screwed if you can't find the screw.  And even if you can, you'll need a fuzzy screw driver or you'll screw the fuzz while you're screwing.  I would say screw U to the fuzzy visors.

What can I say?  I haven't replaced the sun visors.  Though my 5/71 240Z isn't a series 1 car (based on the chassis serial number), it has a number of series 1 parts, like the center console, hatch vents, vertical defroster wires, skinny fuel evap container, etc.  

Maybe just have to buy replacement visors.

I don't know anything about your car's history.  I'm just pretty pretty pretty sure that Nissan did not use fuzzy fabric on the visor.  I could be wrong.  You can probably feel the screw under the fabric if you squeeze in the right spot.  Cut a tiny hole and stick a screwdriver in.

Looks like somebody just sewed new fabric over the old vinyl.  Probably made it heavier, so more droop-prone.

I should have a pair of originals, if you want to lose the fuzz....

I'd try removing the fuzzy covers before going out and buying replacement visors. Wouldn't be surprised if the original material is underneath.

So I felt around for the mystery screw and it's not present.  I've only got a week until the Snowball Rally (thesnowballrally.com) starts, so instead of trying to find a replacement on short notice, I'm going to look for some material that I can stuff in the hole, around the pivot arm.  Try to make the visor have more friction around the pivot arm.
