I have had to do this repair to my 91 9000s, and seen others do it to older ones. The repair is just less than a perfect result - instead of tight up against the headliner in the up position there will be a just visible drop (far better than the "in your face" of the fail mode).
Inside there is a metal paddle that is the core of the visor. The sheth that the visor rod runs through no longer has sufficient tension and allows the visor to fall. We can fix this by adding tension via hose clamps.
Fix:
1. Use an exacto-knife to cut away section of the black plastic and polyurethane foam (cut only in black to preserve appearance) A couple inch cut from the spine of the visor back toward the front about three inches.
2. The goal is to wrap the hose clamp around the spine and paddle (takes two small hoseclamps or one medium. Tension until appropiately tight to hold the visor.
3. Replace the larger chunks of foam you cut away. Place electrical tape over where the surgery was done (a reasonable match).
Let me know if you have any questions.
