I redid mine a couple of evenings ago; it's actually perhaps a 15-minute job or so. A tip: Repositioning a piece of leather shim that's already in there is harder than removing it and putting in a new one that you'll then trim after inserting. Also, new plastic clip sockets on the header (for the plastic tab from the visor) are a lot tighter than old ones, especially if the old ones are broken. That replacement in itself is about two minutes if you're slow.

Craig, I thank you from the bottom of my once saggy visors. I saved your article ages ago for a to do, however not the author. Please accept my apologies, as this "ebanyon" is worth every word in controlling these wayward visors. A brilliant article. From all the "saggy, baggy and loose visor owners out there..THANK YOU!
Brian.

Just one more word--I finally broke a clip (the female side, mounted in the header) and therefore replaced just the female part on both sides. It really does help, and it adds an extra 90 seconds or so to the procedure!
