I forced a small nail between the visor rod and the tube (or whatever) the rod goes into in the visor itself. That created enough tension or drag to hold the visor and keep it from drooping. The visor now works in all three positions.

Mine did the same thing. Try to find a replacement one at the junk yard (good luck theyr'e probably gone along with the window switches). My second one did it also, and I couldn't find anymore. If you pull the shaft out as far as you can and warp (bend) it a little, it will have enough tension to stay in place. So far, still working after two years.

SOURCE: sun visors flop down and obsruct the view on my 2007 kia optima

Both of my visors broke -- first the one right after purchasing (had dealership repair) then the other (still under warantee, so dealership repaired). The lady said the 2007 Optimas had a "bad batch" of visors and many needed to be replaced. Fine. Now the driver's side broke again. It just needs to be replaced. I love the Kia, hate the visors. Not a bad payoff for the reasonable price. So far, the only thing that has broken.

SOURCE: My Kia 2007 sun visor is broken?

I've had to have this fixed twice by Kia. It's under warranty, so it's a free, fast fix. They do need to redesign this!!

Look at the plastic plate that the visor arm comes out of. There are screws underneath the plate. You need to adjust these screws, and that should take care of the problem.

SOURCE: I have a 2006 Kia Optima and my drivers side visor

Kia has a great warranty and the dealer will fix it for free! I've had to have this done 2 times, but it's a quick, free fix. This part does need a serious redesign!

Replacing sun visor

Have KIA issue a safety recall because both 2007 and my 2006.5 are plagued with sun visor failures. It is dangerous and needs fixed. The customer should not have to shell our $100. a pop to fix a KIA problem. Both sides have failed in a stuck position just before and just after warrenty expired.

Driver side sun visor falls down

If you have anything on top of the visor, remove it. If there are any screws visible near the pivot rod, tighten them. You can remove the visor and slightly bend the pivot rod, inside the visor. You can just buy a new one and replace it yourself. It's only a few screws.

2007 Optima sun visor is loose.

My 2007 Optima Driver's Side visor also had the same problem. I removed it with the screws under the plate at the base of the visor. Upon further inspection, the plastic inside the "hinge" had shattered inside the plastic sleeve. I am currently attempting some at-home super-glue-and-epoxy repair. If this works, I've saved myself a couple hundred bucks in repairs.
