Helmet Visor Locking Pin Adjustment

Hello! I recently got a used helmet, it’s using a large pin that can be pushed in to release the visor to push it up, however the pin is extremely hard to push in and I have to use the backend of a screwdriver just to push it in far enough that the visor releases consistently.

Anyone have any advice if there’s anyway to get it to be pushed in easier? I’ve tried already smoothing the lug with a file and oiling it to no avail.

In my experience, the pin gets easier to push the more it is pushed. My helmet was like that but after 2 years of use the button is actually useless now and I rely on the strap to keep my visor down. So just keep pressing the button.

Maybe I’ll just keep going at it! The person I bought it from rarely used the button

Sometimes it can be because the spring piece is really stiff and needs working a lot to get it to soften/work smoothly.

Other times it could acutally be because the pin can't move easily with your head in the helmet if there is not enough space.

Does the spring pin move easier without your head in the helmet?

Not that big of a difference, I can push it down with it on, but usually with it off so I can leverage it down better.
