I’m having a frustrating issue with my Chevrolet Corvette’s sun visor—it just won’t stay up! Every time I try to adjust it, it either flops down or doesn’t hold its position at all.
Possible Causes
Worn Out Clips/Springs: Over time, the clips or springs in the visor mechanism can wear out, failing to provide the tension needed to keep it in place.
Misalignment: If the visor is misaligned, it can lead to instability, causing it to not hold its position.
Damaged Mechanism: Any visible damage around the pivot points may be contributing to the problem.
Temporary Fix
While I’m looking for a permanent solution, I’ve tried a few temporary fixes:
Tape: I’ve used some strong tape as a stopgap measure, but it’s definitely not a long-term solution.
Tightening Screws: I’ve checked to see if the screws are tight; sometimes they just need a little adjustment.
Seeking Advice
Has anyone else experienced this problem? What’s worked for you in fixing sun visors that won’t stay up? Are there any DIY fixes specifically for the C2 models? I’d love to hear about any successful solutions or tips you all might have.
Hey! Sun visors not staying up is a common issue. Often, it’s due to worn-out hinges or broken clips. You might want to check the internal mechanism as well. A quick inspection can save you from more extensive repairs later!
Absolutely! Broken clips are notorious for this problem. They can wear down over time due to repeated use, especially in hotter climates. It’s worth checking those first.
Replacing clips can be pretty straightforward! Most visors have a screw or snap fit that you can easily access. Just ensure you get the right replacement parts!
Yes, the hinge could be an issue too! If it’s worn out, it might not hold the visor properly. You can often replace just the hinge without needing a whole new visor.
I totally understand your frustration! Sometimes the clip that holds the visor can get worn out. Try using a small adjustable clip to keep it in place temporarily. It might just do the trick!
