Floppy Sun Visor Solutions
Gents,
I've had the darndest time trying to find a solution to floppy sun visors in my '86 F 150. They droop down and have hardly any resistance to swinging- accelerating hard can swing them back at me while I'm driving. Last year I got a new spring and rod assembly, but they are flopping again. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Loren

Use some velcro at strategic locations; stick the hook side to the roof and/or the door and the fuzzy side on the visor. Use the adhesive-backed stuff if you don't have a cloth headliner.

I have a 1980 ford that I had the same problem with and I fixed it with the sun visors out of a 1990, they are same as the ones in your truck and mine except the tabs on the end that fit into clips on the roof all you have to do is find one of these trucks at the wreckers and buy the visors and the clips all that holds the clips is one philips screw and its easy to install them into your truck just make sure the clips are straight when you drill the holes in your roof I measured the holes in the 1990 cab to mark them in my cab before I drilled the holes, If you look in the cab of a 90 you'll know what Im talking about hope this solves your problem

Funny you should post this. I have been considering adding the clipping visors to my truck for the last week or so after battling the flop for sometime. Does anybody know what years' visors will screw right into my '86?

Im pretty sure anything from 1980 to 1994 the visors are the same bolt pattern with the 3 screws for your cab my 1980 truck has a 1986 cab on it due to rust and 1990 was the same pattern for my truck with the clips are in the 90 Im not sure when they started putting the clips in it might even be 87 but I know the 90 fits
