i fixed mine from falling years ago, this is what you do:
Remove the pivot rods from the visor. Take a center punch and hammer dozens
of dents in each of the rods. all the way around. then apray it with clear
paint so it wont rust. The re-surfacing of the rods, adds the right texture
to keep the visors from drooping.

My experience has been that the problem is the other way around, how
to get it to move at all after it has rusted sufficiently inside.
Which I'm sure you know this already, but if you remove the visor
from the windshield frame you can remove the rods. They are just
single-ended rods stuck into spring-like brackets, so you can just
pull them out. So you should be able to squeeze together the clips
inside the leading edge of the visor to make them grip the rod
tighter.
