Two days ago the passenger sun visor in my truck decided that it liked the hanging position better than the stowed position. It feels as tho the friction thingy that holds it up has lost it's friction. In the days of earlier sun visors, it was possible to tighten a small screw and restore the tension. I can't see or feel anything like this on this modern day garbage. Has anyone else experienced this problem and if so, is there a fix? (besides throwing the visor in the garbage and buying a new one). I have tried to pull the 'shaft' out of the visor but there appears to be an internal lock holding it and do not want to force it.
If I have to replace it, I would like to replace it with one that has a light for the mirror. Any suggestions as to a suitable replacement? Is there a wire inside the roof lining just waiting for the suitable plug?

Same problem...only solution is to throw it away and buy a new one...been looking on ebay for quite some time as the ******* isn't much help.

I recently had the same problem on my 04.5. Sorry but mine was still under warranty and the dealer installed a new one without any hassle. If it makes you feel any better, I'm sure the new visor will fail shortly after the warranty expires.

My visor slid off the rod after it started swinging. The plastic "thing" that holds the visor on the rod and apparently provides the friction had twisted apart.

Driver's side for me, covered under warranty.

I only paid like $31 for mine when it broke from the crappiest dealer I know!

Mine's starting to go. I've thought about attaching a small piece of velcro to the visor edge and sticking it to the headliner. Might wear out the headliner eventually??

I'd just put a piece of velcro on the roof and visor and let that do.

Dunno, maybe I'm just lazy.

At least yours didn't completely fall off in your wife's lap going down the road. This happened on my 06 with only 15k

Mine scared the crap out of me one day. My rear slider was open and then all of a sudden it flew down like someone slapped it hard. I put it back up and 2 minutes later bam down again.
