re:Sagging sun visors

[hugh shawcross <shawcros@domain.elided>]

In my '74 I've installed a couple of small pieces of black stick-on velcro
to the corner of the visor and the top latch. It works really well for me.
The droop issue while the top is down is only a problem for me on one of my
visors and when it bugs me enough I'll be putting on the spare asembly that
I have. If your visors stay up with the top down, I suspect that your
visors pin mounts are worn only over part of their circumference. Before
you get too carried away with the drill (this job doesn't always proceed as
smoothly as it sounds) you may want to think about my treatment method
until the sagging becomes unbearable in any position.
