The darn thing kept flopping down into my head (god that sounds bad) and scaring the crap out of me.

It's out...and I may leave it out. Never use it....I wear dark sunglasses..

Any reason not to just leave it out of the car?

Hey, its a cheap and easy weight reduction

They don't make sunglasses that can protect you from having the sun directly in your eyes. Welding goggles or a ball cap, maybe. A replacement visor that isn't worn out might be a nice thing to have and odds are you'll need one someday anyway.

lolz. I just took mine out since it hit me in the helmet. I wish I put it back for the drive home.

doing my first DE in a few weeks and that's all I could envision...me losing it on a turn because the damn thing fell down in my face!

VaSteve

You must be tall. I'm 6' and where I had the seat, the thing wouldn't come down in front of my face, just hit the top of my helmet.

BTW, this is what racer tape is for.

I am short....closer to the wheel and up high...( 5'-7")

Do a search. There was a repair done by someone on here for OE sunvisors.

I have the same problem. It flops down when I go over bumps at speed.

Put it back in, and buy a little velcro sticker, stick one on the visor and one on the headliner, to hold it up.

Or if you want to do it the ghetto backwards way, you can buy a replacement visor.

Took mine out a long time ago. Occasionally, it would be nice to have it back in, but sure enough, the road turned and the sun is no longer a problem.

I did search and find that repair procedure...two things...there's supposed to be plastic over the metal rod..mine obviously got brittle and broke off....and when I pulled the rod out, it's only about 4" long and there's no tab as described in that procedure.

The procedure called for use of teflon tape to thicken the rod....I may try this anyway...before I just leave em out of the car.

You will lose 10 hp which will cause you to lose that trophy at the DE.

You can also stick a little velcro patch on the inner most corner and it will stay up.
