If the TR4 visor is like the TR6 I didn=E2=80=99t have any luck squeezing t=
he sleeve=E2=80=A6. My solution, which has now held up for 23 years was to =
pull the visor completely off of the rod and give the rod a gentle bend=E2=
=80=A6.emphasis on gentle=E2=80=A6.. test fit and bend again is required=E2=
=80=A6.

Dave -

I think what you feel inside the vinyl is just thin metal sleeve.  What I=
=E2=80=99ve done before it take the visor off and use a pliers gently to sq=
ueeze the sleeve and get more friction to hold it to the rod.  Emphasis on =
gently..

Cheers
