Q On my 1992 Carrera, the sun visors are very stiff. I am afraid they are going to break unless I use both hands. How do you oil them? – Greg
A: If you have to use both hands, you will definitely going to break them and it’s not wise to oil them. Porsche provided an adjustment screw near the pivot to regulate the amount of friction (tightness) in the hinge. If you have too much friction, a simple adjustment or service will fix it. To adjust the friction, simply loosen the screw a little and see how it works. If you are not happy with the way it feels, the moving parts are not hard to service.
To make them move nice and smooth, remove the visor assembly and loosen the adjustment screw (don’t remove it). Rotate the “stem” of the visor bracket while pulling it out of the visor. Clean the stem, spray some silicone into the hole, and reinstall the stem into the visor. Install the assembly then tighten the adjustment screw until it operates smoothly. – MC
