We recently had the driver-side visor lose its ability to stay in
position (out of the way). Read on this newsgroup that a new visor +
labour is very expensive so decided that there had to be a cheap fix.

Here it is:
Buy some velcro with sticky backing and stick one side on the back of
the visor and the other in the proper place in the headliner where the
visor should stay. Presto!

Of course it does not help with getting the visor to stay at exactly
the correct angle to block the sun but we won't get much sun til spring
here in Toronto anyways, so lots of time to figure that one out.

I've got the same problem with a 97 960. Why are stupid visors so
expensive. I think I was quoted like $220. I'm using elastic and a
large document clip. Works, but I can never put it down.

When I had that problem with my 1989 Saab 9000, I bought one
of the right color from an online junkyard for about $30.
The visor was held in position by three screws, and it took
only a few minutes to take out the old one and put in the
replacement.
 
The Volvo visor is so expensive since it has built-in wiring for the
vanity mirror. A used one from a wrecker would be correspondingly
expensive...

Obviously, you don't go north-to-south on the 404 or west-to-east on
the 401/407 in the mornings.

I'd vote for a trip to Cookstown Auto Parts. While you're rummaging in
the yard for the parts, your spouse can go cruising through downtown
Cookstown or the Cookstown Outlet Mall.
