Sun visor wobbly--flap loose on rod 2007 Yaris - Toyota Yaris Forums

Driver's side only. OEM flap includes mirror and extension. Flap is loose on the rod that it rotates on. (Will still stay rotated in up or down position, but it there is some freeplay, and it sags when swung back along the door window.) Any way to tighten it up? How is it assembled to the flap? Does the rod have some kind of ball-end-with-neck that was just pushed into the flap? Can flap be pulled off w/o damage or making looseness worse?

I never took mine apart to see how I could have fixed it but I had the same problem on my old Echo.

What I did was use one hand to hold the metal pivot part and then use the other to close the visor. This allow the visor to stay closed tight against the roof and out of my way.

It was just a quick fix since I was scrapping the car but I'm sure if you take it apart it a relatively simple system. Or get a salvaged one from a scrap yard

Will look it over again...didn't see any way to take any part of it apart... Some searching here found photos of one w/ areas cut out to install things, but w/o showing any disassembly or rod features.
