Sunvisor not folding up all the way.
My drivers side Sunvisor will not fold up all the way up. It seems to be getting worst . Does anybody else have this issue? Living in Sunny California I use it a lot , but it seems odd that it would start to wear out in 7 years.

Maybe the 2d sunvisor behind is in the way.

Same here - I tried adding black tape to the small rod sticking out of the visor - did not help.

I never use the 2nd sunvisor, so it couldnt be it.

There's two screws that hold it up. Maybe they're loose.
I always have my secondary (behind) sunvisor out to cut some sunrise glare.

internal wear
when my Honda Civic does this, it's because the plastic inside the shade has deformed. Current generation Civics seem to have a problem with this, especially when it's hot outside. Maybe a new visor is in order?

Mine is the same way. I did take it off at one time to look at it but there is nothing real obvious that could be done to fix it. I may take it down again and see if I can come up with something.

Check to make sure that it's not extending out, the visors actually slide out depending on which model you have

Is something binding and not allowing it to go up, or does it move freely but not stay up? Hard to say without seeing it and perhaps pulling it apart.

My shop is almost done building a machine that assembles the part of the sunvisor that slides and snaps in the up position. These are for the Malibu and some other car, but might be the same mechanics, so let me know what the symptoms are and maybe I'll have a thought.

Mine stays up ok in the normal up position but when it is down and pushed toward the windshield it fall back a inch or two and blocks my view. The passenger side does not do this.

Its looks like design issue here. I had same problem so last week I decided to try to fix it. I pull out the rod that hold sunvisor and it was broken inside in to several pieces. The plastic broke right there on the edge where it goes inside the whole thing that swivels. Then I screwed long thread bolt inside and pulled out the other end of the plastic that broke off inside. The plastic end had white grease on it for the metal rod that hidden inside. Its looks like when the plastic bumps wears out it can't hold the weight of the sunvisor anymore and there is no way to fix it. Now I am looking to buy new the whole thing.

I do have some screws loose but not on the visor. 
By the looks of the other responses, I will have to buy a new visor.
