Gary,
I had a similar problem with visors I bought for my Spitfire. When I looked
real close at them I could see that just under the edge of the visor
material was a little metal thing that rode over the visor rod. I was able
to take a pliers and tighten that piece up (I recall it had a slit in it)
and it would grab onto the rod more firmly.
I have no idea if yours have something similar at one of the ends or not,
but it's worth looking for.

Fellow LBC Restorers,
I replaced the two, sagging, bags of rotting foam (sad but a true
description of the 24 year old visors) just recently. My problem is the
damn things won't stay put in a horizintal or upright position. They
succumb to gravity and fall down.
Their design appears to be very similar to the original units. The
longer bar, that attached to the windscreen corners, slides into a tube
that's embedded in the new visor. The other end of the visor uses a
small 3" piece of similar rod that slides in the other visor end and
attaches to the rubber holder towards the central part of the windscreen
frame.
The tolerances are apparently pretty sloppy. I don't see how the visor
can "grab" onto the bar in order to stay put where one wants it. Of
course, they don't come with any instructions.
Has anyone experienced this problem and solved it? I'd like to know.
TIA,
Gary
