Need ideas for sunvisor sag

Hello, I have an '86 F350 Crew Cab that has gone from my occasional horse trailer hauler to my everyday vehicle. The sun visors are original and are unsupported in the middle. They sag significantly after all these years. I have replaced the support arm, but that made no difference so I'm guessing the point of attachment is warped or something. Looking for ideas for a center support bracket of some kind.
Thanks!

There are plenty of support brackets you could get from other vehicles, but they always have part of the rod exposed on the visor where it can snap into the bracket. You would have to modify your visors to make that work. Or get the visors along with the brackets from another vehicle.

A velcro strap is ugly, cheap, and very effective.

Go to an 87 or later Ford truck and get the visors and supports. They'll screw right in, although you will have to drill the holes for the center supports.

In another vehicle i had i put a small dowel in the ends of the visor and added the center piece out of a toyota. Worked fine while i had it.

Or do what I just did an hour ago, (because of you post) Remove the visor, then un-curl the factory-made curl holding the washer and spring on the visor.
remove the spring and either replace (with slightly longer) or re-strecth the original and re-assemble..... no more flop.
