[TR] Floppy sun visor

Hey Bruce,
I had the same floppy visor problem.
I used a piece of that "unbreakable" clear bubble stuff usually found on
item packaging like kids toys.
I cut a piece maybe 1/4" x 2" stuck it in the visor hole ( a flexible shim)
then pushed the visor onto the visor arm.
It forms around the arm and It's firm and no more visor flop. You might have
to tinker with the shim size.
Regards,
Bob
