vanity mirrors on sun visor

The flaps to the vanity mirrors on the sun visors aren't staying closed. Feels like it's a magnet and it just not up to the job when the visor is down. Anyone have this problem and come up with a solution? I really don't want to ghetto fix it, but it's annoying and looks bad when the rest of the car is looking pretty cherry...
Thanks everyone for putting up with my ceaseless questions lol.

it's probably because they're puffing up/ballooning due to heat. it's a magnetic type and mine started doing recently. the way that I resolve it was get a sewing pin and poke a small hole on the inside to relieve the air that built up in there. I squeezed the air out and it flattened out. my flaps stay close now.

Hi,

Did as you suggested and it seems to be working. The lids were super puffed up from the heat, didn't realise that. Now it seems like the magnetic is stronger. Thanks for the tip!
