| Description of the problem | The visor on my car has been broken for about two years now. At first it was just annoying while driving but i feel it is a safety concern now. The visor stays up by kevlar but i need to redo it since the plastic threads are no longer holding it together. I shouldn't have to hold the visor with my left hand because the manufacturer designed the visor badly. On a sunny day the visor won't stay in the position placed but stays in a vertical position, blocking my sight. Also, the cup holder design is horrible. The aftermarket cup holders won't even fit inside. Only large diameter cups can be held securely. Standard cups are not held secure. I need to be conscious of where the cup is when driving. A cup holder should actually hold the cup in place and not cause concern to the driver. |
