Anyone know what is behind the sunvisor mount to support the screws? Have several that are loose. Do they screw into sheet metal or some type of clip that can be replaced?

They are clips. At least that's how they are mounted on my 86' (no headliner in mine though). 3 u-clips.

That is the problem I have 2 of the screws no longer hold. Now I have to figure out where to get the clips and how to replace them under the headliner.

These are smaller clip nuts than found at hardware store. I had to rely on some great guys here to get a handful to finish my headliner.

Take them out & hammer them flat & see if they tighten up. Cost is $0.00
