Any way to tighten up a sun visor? 850 1996

The driver's sun visor on Arabella, our 1996 850 sedan, has gotten really floppy. I'm tall enough that it has irritated me for ages, but it's now irritating even my 5 foot nothing wife (Arabella is her car, that she lets me drive sometimes).

Best online price I've found is $171 plus shipping, so buying new is not attractive; I haven't tried the local junkyards yet to see if I can find one that is less floppy.

Our old 145, The White Whale, had a screw that you could tighten to adjust the visor's movement, but I don't find any such thing on the 850. Is there a way to adjust it on this car?
