Auto-deploying sun visor

Post by csuengr »

Has anybody managed to fix their auto-deploying sun visor? My passenger side one does it all the time and I can't get it to not do it. Thanks.

There are a few ways to auto-deploy. Maybe the XY location sensor needs mechanical adjustment and a little loctite.

I expect that auto-deploy means the visor flops down. You could maybe put something in the joint between the visor and rod to add some friction. Maybe a tie wrap end?

mine does it too, but it is more of an offset of the metal rod support, it is tight in the center plastic support and the round end of the visor end has enough material to keep it tight.
yes, on a rough trail or our streets, it may deploy while the vehicle bounces.

you can try to add a layer in the center support, medical tape, gapher tape, something w a rougher feel than electrical tape
