The ultimate sunvisor support fix
I think I have found the end all, be all of sunvisor support fixes.
My passenger sunvisor support was extra floppy and rotated easily. Couldn't remove the pin though. Picked me up some Permatex (same company that makes Loctite) High Temp Sleeve Retainer. Put a drop where the pin goes into the housing, and worked it around (spinning and wiggling). Got distracted for a second, came back and that pin is not moving at all. I even tested it and hit it with a hammer, and it didn't budge.
$4 for a small bottle of the stuff is much better than $45 for new supports.
Just my experience, your mileage may vary.

Just an update- Its been over night and sunvisors have NO wiggle in them and they are tight.

Sounds great. I will give it a shot. It's a great option for those of us who have the original interior and have difficulty matching the color. Thanks for the tip!
