keep a sunvisor from swinging to the side?

Depends on the internal arrangement. They also may not distort as easily as you think.

There was something called KILOPOISE, clear, sticky as hell but never sets, we used to use it sometimes in our scientific instruments in the

Understand but getting the liquid into where it is needed, much less spreading it around a little, is the difficult part. I had a look at my Toyota visor and I couldn't see how I could easily get anything in where it is needed. The friction device isn't necessarily right out near the end of the support rod and could even be at the inner end but far away from the rod access point. Used would be the way to go if new is $200+.

Yes, I've definitely thought about that, and I don't know what would happen.

The trouble is that used is used, and this is a part that wears out. Even if the yard doesn't want to sell a bad one, it could be good now and bad 5000 miles from now. Plus once it's removed from the car, one can't tell how tight the pivot is, and even when it's in the car, one can't tell unless he drives it and turns left. And junk yards don't do that.

Plus carparts.com I think it is had several for my model that are black or ivory, and several with no color specified -- so I could call each one and ask -- but none marked tan. I thought tan was a popular color for these car interiors, but maybe not.

These used to be an Ace here, along with another small hardware store. Both have been gone since soon after Lowes opened.
