My problem is that the visors will not stay up. I pinched the metal sleeves but that didn't help. Any other suggestions?

Wish I had a pic to explain.
Did you put a "PINCH" on the Rod its self? | | | | | Joined: Nov 2010 Posts: 339 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2010 Posts: 339 | You need to bend the rod a little to put tension on the visor to make it stay up. root | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 55 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 55 | I pinched the visor. has a metal sleeve
