Well... Seems I have figured out how to resolve the visor droop if not too severe. so once I type all this stuff down...I am finished with this string! <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/laugh.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />
Attached are the directions to program the Homelink as well as how to pictures for the visor.
I applied some old aircraft technology learned back in my Navy days off the coast of Nam. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/blink.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> Back then, we refered to it as 500 MPH tape. I think some folks still do today. What you'd do is place the tape over a bullet hole in the fuselage if the hole was only thru the skin and not underlying structure. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/ohmy.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />
Today in modern aviation when there are gaps in the structures and it has to be close tolerance, a block of similar type material is used. It's also refered to as shim stock. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/dry.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> OK - Aviation history and technology class is over.
Go to Home Depot (HD) or your local air-conditioning supplier and purchase a few feet (you'll be practicing a bit) of the silver colored ALUMINUM "Nashua" brand duct tape. A roll is under $8.00 so HD is a quick and sure bet.
Take your visor and swivel hinge out of the car. Caution: Ensure that the hinge and visor are in the same relative position to each other as they are when they are installed in the stowed position in the car. Failure to do so will result in damage to the plastic hinge imbedded inside the visor body. With a pencil, mark a ref. line on the shaft of the hinge shaft (Pin). Don't let it get erased, you need it for reference on how far to push the swivel hinge taper pin back in re-installing. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/wink.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />
Pull the visor swivel hinge outward away from the visor. Take care not to twist the visor or crush/crack the foam under the vinyl covering. The hinge should pull out fairly easily.
Clean of ALL grease from the tapered pin. The pin has a bare metal tip and tapers back to the swivel hinge for approximately 1.250 inches. Excluding the bare metal tip, this is the problematic area we will work with.
Once you are certain there is no oil/grease on the taper, cut a strip of foil tape 1" wide x 1.250" long. With the longer of the two flat surfaces of the taper pin facing you, practice applying the tape to the taper pin on the side with the SHORTER taper. All edges must be firmly adhered to the surface or it will pull off on install.
<img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/unsure.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> ENSURE you don't get any tape on the longer of the two flat surfaces. It will tear the tape when re-installed in to the visor. Where if you have a Really bad case of drooping visors, you may want to use up to 3 or 4 layers of tape.
When you have what you believe is a good fit, stop, get yourself a cool one, grab a pair of thin long needle nose plyers and smile. You'll either get a good fit the first time or you'll have to try again. Don't fret though...this DOES work! <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/rolleyes.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />
Re-orient the hinge back to the "as installed" position and insert it fully in to the hole in the visor. Note your ref line so you don't damage the plastic keyway internal to the visor.
Once re-installed, if the droop is still too much, you'll need to repeat and increase the tape a layer or two. I ended up with 4 layers on mine.
Oh yeah...needle nose. If you have to do it again, you'll need 'em to get the tape out. If you jam the tape all the way in and don't get it out, that bare metal tip won't seat properly and you'll have more fun than a barrel of monkeys and a football.
Pictures attached to help...good luck <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/laugh.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />
