[DeTomaso] Viagra for sun visors?

[damaadams at aol.com]

I'm not sure how the Pantera visors are configured, but my Mangusta had the same problem. I determined that the sheet metal?stamping that?clamps over the visor shaft?had compressed over the years with the tightening of the adjusting screw. I was afraid to tighten any farther for fear of stripping the threads, so I just added a couple wraps of inconspicuous tape to the visor's shaft. That gave some added diameter and also some additional "bite" for the clamp. Now she works just fine.

Tightening the screws slightly fixed my visors.
