| Description of the problem | The sunvisor on the driver's side broke; on the post where the visor attaches to the roof of the car. Once broken it could not be secured out of harm's way. This caused the visor to hang straight down blocking the driver's view of the road and creating a vision hazard. Secondly, the visor then was free swinging, so that it could strike the driver in an accident or just in normal driving. I have the visor and pictures documenting the break site. *js |
