If the TR4 visor is like the TR6 I didn’t have any luck squeezing the sleeve…. My solution, which has now held up for 23 years was to pull the visor completely off of the rod and give the rod a gentle bend….emphasis on gentle….. test fit and bend again is required….

Dave -

I think what you feel inside the vinyl is just thin metal sleeve.  What I’ve done before it take the visor off and use a pliers gently to squeeze the sleeve and get more friction to hold it to the rod.  Emphasis on gently..

I can feel some type of clamp under the vinyl covering in the sun visor on the outside end of the visors and I imagine that is what is supposed to hold the visor in place but after 50 years it’s not what it used to be.
