I tried the inserts, but they dont fit the 62 visor bracket. Since the visor doesnt move from that point, you might want to try flattening the hole a little with vise grips so it is an oval and will make better contact with the rod, wrapping some tin foil around it or even put some loktite in it and see if that helps at all...

A lot of that going around !!!!
Mine also drop, but they are rotating around the shaft. If you let go of them they fall but the shaft dosen''t turn. If you crab them and put them down the shaft turns. Anyone else having this problem or fixed it already, I'd like the solution.

I'm having the same problem as Nuts. I saw an article on this a while back but can't find it now. Does anyone remember if it was in a thread on the board?
Simple remedy, Take them off and put in them in the trunk. Do you really every use them?? 
Robbert, The hardtops don't have the clips.
Mine will drop if I am hardtopen it and the wind is blowing. What has worked for me is to push the visor forward so the front is wedged onto the front headliner windshield trim. It is not the best fix but is does work.

How about a slightly longer screw, to apply more pressure to the shaft?

The guy who owned my 62 before me installed a small square of Velcro on the backside of the visor and stuck the other part of the Velcro tab to the headliner. Not the best solution but it worked and was not visible when the visor was up. Not sure I will do the same when I put the car back together.
In most cases the pinch collar has already come together so the longer screw is not an option...

I did not say it was the best solution. It is what the previous owner did, but he also covered every surface with red valoure, and I mean every surface every the passanger grab bar. I think I did state that I will not do the same when the car goes back together. Good luck. I know this is a good thread since mine were drouping when I took them out.
Or?
You could just fix them correctly.
