The tolerances are apparently pretty sloppy. I don't see how the visor

Gary,
I solved the same problem on my Spit by taking a very small sized black cable
tie and, with the visor (and rod) in place, pulled the ends of the rubber
holder together around the rod with the cable tie so the rubber holder got
more grip on the rod. If you use a very small cable tie, you can poke a hole
through the holder rubber with an awe or ice pick, pull it tight, dress it
(cut the end off) and it's fairly invisible. The obvious disadvantage of
this method is that you can't swing the visor around sideways to block the
sun in that direction...but in all my years of driving LBCs, I don't think I
ever needed to do that...I probably just changed direction!
Good luck,
