Well the sun visors in my car are broken. One just falls out when you open it and the other doesnt clip on. It was stupid but I tried to super glue the one that falls, and that only worked for a week. All of the wiring for the lights are cut out too, soooo is there and easy way to fix it or should i just get new ones. And if i get new ones, how would i install them? Thanks its been frustrating me for a while.

Nissan made a couple different cars, mind hinting at what one you have (outright telling us would be even better )

On the base S13 240 two(three?) screw hold the sun visor mount to the roof. take them out and you can remove it, new one goes in the same way.take a look at the join that the visor rotates on and see if there is anyway to take up the slack...kinda hard to say with out looking at it but see if anything has slid out of place, or perhaps you could make some kind of a shim to jam in it to tighten it up if it just needs to work...

yeah just saw it was a Q in another post...Ive never even been inside one...I bet the guys in the infinity section could help though.

Often times in an attempt to hide screw they will make a plastic cap that covers the actual base....my toyota had one for the rear view mirrior. if there are absolutly no fastners or indentation to pry on I would try giving it a wiggle and seeing if it feels like a cover that snaps in place, You might just have to pull it off.

If you have access to the Factory service manual I know the ones for the S13's at least have how to remove all the body/interior pannels...I dunno where you get a Q45 FSM though??????

What gives? My sun visors just started falling down all of a sudden. It is quite irratating. It's like someone oiled the hinges or something.

Yeah, the screws should tackle the problem. Bring it to a shop to double-check.
