drivers sun visor

our drivers side sun visor droops when we attempt to place it in the full up position. it just wont hold tight to the headliner, it has about 3/4 inch droop and hangs in your field of vision when not in use. any one have a fix for this before i spend $369 for the vosor and $60 for the airbag stickor that attaches to it?. thanks

I've tried taking a couple of them apart to see if there was anything that could be done.. most of the stuff that is sticking is held inside of pieces that they don't want you to take apart. As a temporary fix you could tap the edge of the sun visor closest to the hinge, just be sure not to hit it hard or else you will most likely shatter the vanity mirror inside the visor. Your best bet is just to replace it though.
