The purpose of this thread is to provide a step by step direction on replacing the droopy sun visor with visors from a 1994 Chrysler NY. The whole process is a 
and took half hour per side. The color match was pretty dang close so I got lucky there. The NY visor is a double visor with slide out plastic shade thing. This is not technically a PnP but it's pretty dang close.
This visor can be installed two ways, use the factory screw holes or make two new screw holes. If you use the factory holes then the installation is kind of oem-ish and that's the route I took. BUT, you have to modify the NY plastic mounting bracket as shown in the pics below. If you decide to drill two new holes, then you'll get to retain the use of the second visor as intended. However, the installation won't look quite factory because the mount will sit on top of the headliner and not INSIDE the headliner depression where the OEM mount resides.
Observations:
- the NY visor is narrower than the OEM unit but you can extend the plastic shade thing so it more than makes up for it.
- if you want to retain the makeup mirror light, you'll need to cut off the OEM connector and replace it with NY connector.
-the mount where the visor hooks on to is a tad too tall, so I shaved this flat. The pic will make sense.
-the screw holes on the NY visor mounts need to be wallowed out a tad for the OEM screws to fit through.
-the NY visor uses torx screws so plan accordingly. I didn't have torx drivers but the flat head screwdriver deal on my Leatherman multi tool was enough to remove these screws.
-if you don't want the second visor option, then you can use the OEM hook deal. This is the mount that's closest to the rear view mirror on both sides.
-the second visor in my installation is missing the mounting on one side but it might work just fine. If I were to be more motivated, I'd have come up with a simple way to support the unsupported end of the NY visor. Maybe I'll use a copper pipe and zip tie it to the headliner using two zip ties.
Visor mounted using the factory screw holes but the mount is not going to work!
Mount cut off
Mount won't work using the factory screw holes.
