[TR] Floppy sun visor

[Bob Danielson]

 All I did Craig was give it a little bend. I wish I could say there was 
some technical analysis that went along with it. I tried the other solutions 
but they didn't last so, out of frustration, I pulled the visor off of the 
rod, put one end of the rod in a vise and tugged....... slide the visor back 
on the rod and.........12 years later they still stay in place.
