2 problems......

1. is there anything to fix the sagging sun visors? ive tried numerous times to fix it and nothing works.

2. my headlights wont go down. they go up but they wont go down. i recently put my fans on a switch and after i did that this problem came about. i figured out if i turn my car off and leave the fans on for a minute then turn the car back on the lights go down. why is this? is the fans and headlights on the same circuit or somthin? btw its a 92 if that helps

1. you could spray adheasive on them, or take them to an aphulstry"sp" shop. I'd imagine it would cost less than 20.00 for them to do it.

2. It sounds like you have a wiring issue. Maybe a frayed wire or crossed wire somewhere. I wish I had a body wiring diagram but I dont

By sagging do you mean the material on the visor or the visor itself won't stay up? There was a post fairly recently on visors that were having a hard time staying up...

Got the same problem with the headlights.
They always go up, but they don't always go down....or they just go down for a bit but not all the way.
I've been looking in the body wiring diagram in my Haynes Repair manual and I saw a "headlight doors module". Maybe this is the part that causes it or a faulty headlight switch. I really don't have a clue. BTW does anybody know where this "headlight doors module" is located?

flip your visors down and you should see a screw on the inner side you should be able to tighten that screw and tighten your visors thats what i did to mine. as for your headlights theres either 2 solutions one: is the bushings inside your motor on your headlight. or two: there should be a relay that controls the motors it might be bad check your haynes to see if you can find it on your wiring diagrams.................. good luck

i tighten the screw all the time but it only lasts for a week and then they start fallin down again. as for the headlights i think it has something to do with the fans because if i leave the fans on while the car is off and turn the car on the lights go down. it doesnt make sense to me.

Might as well get new visors. I think they're cheap enough... The new ones I got were so tight they didn't even want to go on the metal rod at first. I had to WD40 them just to get them on.
