Both! My drivers side is frozen (cant flip up and down without some strength), and it separated just a week ago when we had the heat wave here. Its Effd as I took a closer look yesterday. Some of the plastic broke and I imagine i will find it when I vacuum next. The passenger side is repairable it just came unglued!

My driver's side was sticking and really hard to move. I took it off, held it rod side up and dripped some WD-40 down the shaft and slowly rotated it. Now it is as good as new!

Just don't force it, otherwise the internal mechanisms break, and it won't fully sit against the roof.

I've been hunting a driver side sunvisor for almost a year now with no luck. It's typically one of the first items to go on a parts car or it's mangled beyond repair. Ebay tends to only have the secondary visors available which I don't need. I tried the lubrication methods described above since my original one was sticking horribly and rufused to sit flush against the headliner. Nothing worked so I trashed it, not knowing it was a $500 part from the dealer at the time.
