Marc,
Yes, they are way too heavy for their own good. In the past there have even been some kidding about attaching a helium balloon. The visors are well stuffed with heaviness.
Once, I considered opening up the visor and removing off weight. Then it occurred to me, that all that work for a visor, was simply not on my schedule. But that is most likely, part of the permanent solution if you so desire to pursue. By opening up the package, you will also find the internal sleeve component that wears out and you can then deal with that in conjunction with removal of weight.
BTW, I must congratulate you on having a well running car. Logic tells me that you car must be doing very well. Otherwise, spending your free time fixing other issues, you might have quickly reached the level that many of us reached - the potato chip clips.
Should you decide to proceed, please take lots of pictures. Documented success with "pictorial procedures" are most welcomed in the Allante circles.
