Help! Sun visor keeps boppin' me on the head.

The support on my driver-side sun visor must be super-lubricated, because when I have it set to block the sun from the side window, it whacks me on the head whenever I take a left turn. Every other car I've driven has enough friction built into the visor so that it holds its position on all but the sharpest turns. Mine has almost no friction at all, so it just swings freely with the turns.

Is there a simple way to keep it from swinging around, or should I just install a new visor? Is there some sort of goop that I could put on the support that would give it a little friction?

Thanks,

-Pete

Use an eye dropper, or Q-tip, etc. and get it in the moving joint(s) and then let it dry. Good luck Pete.

Happened to me too but at the time car was still under warranty. I had mine replaced. Problem solved.

Put a little Velcro between your sun visor and the headliner.
