Carefully pull the rod out of the visor and give it a slight, VERY, VERY
slight bend. Shove it carefully back in and your visors will droop no more.
That's the only way I could keep them up when I put new ones in a few years
ago.

Subject: floppy visors in a blizzard.
Greetings all.
I'll spare you the gory details. Suffice to say that after driving for 4
hours in a blizzard a distance that should have taken 1 hour and then
getting stuck and having to walk the last half kilometer to my house, I was
in no mood to find that my brand new Moss sun visors that arrived in the
mail that day (before the blizzard) were floppy.
Floppy. Floppy sun visors. I put the new rods in the visors and held the
rods and flipped the visor up and it flopped. Down. I live in
Newfoundland, for God's sake: I do not need visors that are permenently
DOWN.
I know how to deal with blizzards; I don't know how to deal with floppy
visors. Any advice? Tape sandpaper to the bars maybe?
TIA.
