I may be wrong, but if I understand correctly I THINK the rod has a place that is pinched near where the mounting screws are and is what makes the visor tight to flip up or down when the visor is slide on the rod. Wish I had a pic to explain.
Did you put a "PINCH" on the Rod its self?

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile
