[TR] [6pack] Sun visor concerns

[Bob Danielson]

John,
If it's like a TR6, pull the visor off of the rod and give the rod a very
very very slight bend. I tried the pinching technique but it didn't last
long for me. The bent rod has held my visors in place for over 10 years now.

Subject: [6pack] Sun visor concerns

Friends, I'm posting to three lists because this has to be a common Triumph
problem with the older car. I've been out today in the Triumph
Trans-AmeriCan UK fundraising Spitfire for a photoshoot. 
Lovely sunny day, though not all that warm, but with the tonneau in place,
the heater blower doing its (not very impressive) best, it was side-windows
down, a zipped up fleece and a red wool hat. Car went superbly and no
complaints there at all - except for one. Has anyone worked out a way of how
to re-tension the sun visor to stop it flip-flopping about its screen monted
stay? Everything's OK up to about 75 - and sometimes 85 - but I am getting
rather tired of it suddenly plunging down and completely obscuring my
forward vision. Currently the car isn't fitted with a self-draining driving
seat but if another truck suddenly pulls out in front of me with the sun
visor down, I may have to investigate the engineering
possibilities..........
