1985 380SL Sun Visor Sag

Both sun visors rest in a parallel to the ground position with hard top installed. They are pointing directly at my forehead when I sit in the car. With the soft top up I can get the visor to stay at an upward angle if I push them against the soft top. With the hard top installed I can't get the visors to stay higher than parallel to the ground. Is there a fix so the visors will stay at any angle above parallel?

Seems like some Mercedes mechanic should know the answer. My local dealer didn't know.

one of the techs i work with did one of these on a similar model but he just replaced them, as far as i know there is no way to tighten them up.

You need to replace the clips, no need to replace whole visor. The job is not hard but a little tricky. Mostly when pulling off the visor from the rod. You only pull off slightly then twist, then it comes off nice and easy. Also the clips only go on a certain way although they look the same on both edges, they are not. Go to Ebay and look up 380sl visor clips.
