Not trying to discourage you, but once you do that fix, you will be having to repeat that fix again soon. It is not lasting. Depending on the ambient the car is subjected to. In the warm States one season, in the shady NE maybe two maybe three.

However, there are lasting remedies:
1. Use the infamous zinzin potato chip clips.
2. Buy and install the visor clutch.
3. Remove the visors.
4. Move up to the Phase II.

After 5 years of tangling with this floppy visor issue, banging my forehead countless times, trying to look around them as they flopped down, and finally ending with the breakage of TWO map light assemblies ($95 each plus labor), i finally opted for remedies #3 and #4. Fail proof .. guaranteed.

Once the last map light assy got broken, again, the potato chip clips become useless. I wonder if I can sell them on ebay as "Allante floppy visor correction devices."
