How do I fix a loose car sun visor?

The sun visor in my car won’t stay up. The glare makes it difficult to see while I’m driving in the sun but I live in Southern California so it’s pretty much sunny year-round. How do I fix the loose sun visor?

A loose sun visor is inconvenient and dangerous for drivers. How you fix a loose car sun visor will depend on whether the sun visor is on a fixed mount or swivel mount.
If your sun visor is on a swivel mount, you’ll just tighten the screws surrounding the mount to fix a loose sun visor. However, you’ll have to take additional steps to repair your car’s sun visor if it is on a fixed mount.
Follow these steps to repair a loose sun visor on a fixed mount:
  • Tighten the screws hold the bar to the roof of the car
  • Check the visor clips to see if they have widened
  • Add rubber caps or stripping to the clip to tight the grip on the visor
If your car sun visor still won’t stay up after you’ve fixed it, you should replace it before you get into a
car accident
