Default Sunvisor keeps falling down - Where to get sun visor clips?

This might be a really stupid question, but,
my left side sunvisor is now always falling down. Im not sure if i just need a new sunvisor or just the clips are not tight enough.

Where do i get the clip part?
thanks

I had the same problem recently in my 993. the left visor would pop out after an hour or two. I swapped the left & right ones with each other and has not popped out once since. 2 minutes and a philips screwdriver. PS be sure not to overtighten.

Mine does it occasionally in very hot weather if parked outside. I thought it was the foam/rubber in the part of the visor that the clip grabs, just softening over time and then not enough tension in the clip. You could try wrapping just a bit of tap to make that a bit larger. I'm also going to check my clip and see if that is the problem instead.

two or three wraps around the ends with black electrical tape secures them.

I think I got mine from Sunset or Pelican. Or maybe it was the dealer. Very cheap, easy to install.

Just replaced mine. Simple job.

As stated; be careful not to over-tighten.

Additionally; they will be slightly elongated in comparison to what you are replacing (mine were, at least) but the fit for the visor is identical and, if anything, the slightly different shape provides additional stability.

I have this problem, but ordering and replacing the clips did not address it. The problem lies not in the clip in my case but in the anchor point. Any other ideas? Thanks.

You will have to repair or replace the actual visor as the hole has wallowed out. Mine worked fine, but as I am tall and always sit upright, I took mine off (and the I removed and straightened the stickers and put them in the "parts that came off the 993" box). When I took them off, I noticed the one side on each was very loose.

Found an anchor bay from a uk seller and ordered it. Google to the rescue.
