Had the same problem with the ones I got from VB. Pull the visor off of the
long arm. Put a VERY VERY VERY slight bend in the arm............ and I mean
VERY slight. Push the visor back on to the arm and they'll stay in what ever
position you put them in. It's been over two years and mine haven't fallen
down yet. If you compare your original arm to the new arm you'll see the
slight bend in it........... at least I could.

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
