| Description of the problem | While driving on a highway at approximately 65 mph i flipped down the driver's side sun visor to block the sun. The visor broke leaving it dangling in my line of vision. Startled and stooping to see under the dangling visor i managed to hold it up and out of my way until i could find a store to purchase some duct tape. Taping it was quick temporary fix. High temperatures kept the tape from sticking securely and the visor continued to fall down as i was driving. Forcing my attention away from the street and back to the visor. I am 58 years old, have owned the car for 6 years, and have not abused the visor. |
