Fixing the loose screw for a Ford Figo Sun Visor

I find myself using my sun visor quite often in the South African sun. Over the 3 years of driving my Ford Figo, it has finally decided to give me an issue. The screws come loose. Here are the pics...

The offending screw is the one closest to the windscreen. It just feel into my lap one day while driving

It is simply a metal sheet under the Visor attachment on the roof lining

Always keep a small pocket knife/tool in your car!

Just turning the screw back in didn't work for long. It just came loose and fell out again. What worked for me was covering the screw in some cling wrap and then screwing it in - still not perfect, but the fix definitely lasted longer.

(Part 2) Replacing the standard radio in a Ford Figo (unboxing my new radio )

Here are some pictures of the radio I chose. I took this model because it was in my price range and importantly had the Sony App Remote feature. App Remote allows you to operate your radio from the screen of your smartphone. I thought this would be a cool feature to add. Though the Ford Figo has space for a double din radio, the standard radio is actually a single din. If you want to put in a double din radio you would need to move(with a hack saw!) some of the interior plastic brackets. This will not damage the car but it was something I did not want to do. As it is, a single din radio fits in perfectly. It came in a plastic protective case. just your average single din radio. Is an important piece, be careful not to lose it. These are the removal tools for the new Sony radio
