i fixed mine from falling years ago, this is what you do: Remove the pivot rods from the visor. Take a center punch and hammer dozens of dents in each of the rods. all the way around. then apray it with clear paint so it wont rust. The re-surfacing of the rods, adds the right texture to keep the visors from drooping. mike Mack 79 Spit 70 GT6 74 VW Thing

My experience has been that the problem is the other way around, how to get it to move at all after it has rusted sufficiently inside. Which I'm sure you know this already, but if you remove the visor from the windshield frame you can remove the rods. They are just single-ended rods stuck into spring-like brackets, so you can just pull them out. So you should be able to squeeze together the clips inside the leading edge of the visor to make them grip the rod tighter. -- Jim Muller [EMAIL PROTECTED] '80 Spitfire, '70 GT6+ [email protected] http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/spitfires http://www.team.net/archive _______________________________________________ Support Team.Net http://www.team.net/donate.html [email protected] http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/spitfires http://www.team.net/archive
