Ray - Just a couple of thinking outside the box thought, but maybe give the first couple of inches of the end of the sun visor rod a coating of wax. Furniture drawer glide wax (old school stuff) or even a little past wax will aid in getting it going and sliding down onto the rod. It is meant to have a semi compression fit to keep it positioned on the rod when installed, so it's meant to be a little on the tight side. If your using old/original visor rods a good rub down with some steel wool might make the task easier too.

Let us know how things go. smile
