Sagging Sunvisors

Have any of you guys come across a fix for sagging sunvisors? The bracket holding the sunvisors up in my '84 F-250 seem worn out. Is there an easy fix, or does anyone know where to get new brackets?

Check out the local scrap yards for a cheap replacement

At a later date the design changed a little. I replaced the headliner in my '84 with one out of a '91 (I think it was). I also replaced the sun visors. The visors mount in the corners exactly the same, however the inside (near the rear view mirror) had a plastic clip to hold the end in on the newer model. But either way, your local "recycler" will have some.

My '87 has the improved sunvisors (with the snap on end supports). My Dad has an '86, his are the old floppy visors.

I was able to find a set at a local "Pick and Pull" out of a '91 F-150. Excellent shape, exact color I nedded (well close enough). All I had to do was drill four extra holes to hold the snaps. Easy install. Excellent upgrade modification, and very affordable at only ten dollars for the set. Now I'm looking for a seat.
