Sounds like the little plastic sleeve is shot. It goes on the shaft. Replaced both of mine, now they're hard to pull down. GM p/n is 12337899. PartsZoneOnline - Your Source For Discount Genuine GM and Mopar Parts My original ones were clear, new ones are black as I recall. They came 10 to a bag, about a buck each. I could get a pic of one for you if ya want...

How do you make it stay in position? I have one that swings out toward the windshield every time I brake. I took it apart and it seems ok, whats up?
Thanks Coach

Looks like I'm screwed here--as my bad pass side visor has the illuminated mirror & needs the swivel w/ power-wire...

I cleaned the nylon bushing and tightened the screw and that made it almost too tight to flip down. This worked for me.
As far as stopping the heavier passenger vanity mirror visor from swiveling into the windshield or around to the window, its easy to lubricate something but someone must have a trick to make the swivel "sticky" so it won't rotate so easily. I'm tempted to try 3M spray on adhesive in between the swivel washers. Has anyone tried this?

Yep the swivels are bad. Check Ebay too. I was able to find one for $10 and it worked great.

Ebay is the location of choice to get these visor brackets. Make sure you ask if what you are going to bid on is for T-Top OR hardtop since they are different.
Fitz, shouldn't you be working, not surfing the internet now? Bob

No such thing as bad swivels. Use the plastic repair sleeve in David65s link and save your self some money. Make sure the pinch screw threads aren't stripped in the sinvisor too.

My swivel was bad. Meaning the shaft would spin 360 degrees freely. I tried super glue, epoxy which didn't last. I did read someone fixed it by drilling/tapping a small hole and putting a set screw in. So yes if you the shaft doesn't spin all the way around the plastic sleeves should do the trick.
