Is there a fix for Sagging Sun Visors?
My sun visors are making me crazy. They no longer stay up in the uppermost position.............they drop down an inch or 2 so that they are just barely in my field of vision with the trailing edge about 2" from my forehead.......making it impossible to wear a ball cap........the visor and hat keep getting tangled up in each other.
I am about to try some self stick velcro to hold it close to the head liner,....but before I did that,....I thought I would check here to see if there is a recognised fix. ....... back in "the day" when a visor sagged, there was a pinch clamp that could be tightened to keep the visor up............
Still living in the past.

I have the same problem on my 968 and have yet to find a solution. I tried the "velcro" route but it ends up making your ceiling a mess. I also tried to rig up a wire to hold it up but no success there either. Anyone have a solution out there?

My visors are not droop in fact they are very tight. But if they were I think I would try first to epoxy a neodymium magnet to the visor where it would hold it to the top. If that was not sufficient I would add epoxy a small piece of metal or another magnet to the ceiling above the visor.

Did you try simply replacing the plastic u-shaped clips that hold them in place. Worth a try - worked for me. They are ony a few bucks each. Porsche dealers typically have them in stock as they are a common replacement item. Tend to disintegrate after a while.

yes....to headliner & sunvisor.....kinda "tacky" but effective as a quick fix short of replacing with new sunvisor...
please note that my 968 is a track car and not a "Looker"
whattya think?
