| Description of the problem | I have a 2006 sonata and went to move the driver's side visor to block the sun today, heard a loud crack, and the plastic housing (that apparently holds the visor in place) around the metal bar cracked and broke. I was driving while this happened and now it just hangs there in the way- how dangerous! I tried gluing the broken piece back on, but it didn't help. Now i've got it velcroed up and can't use it! C'mon hyundai - take some responsibility here and fix what is obviously a very common, and dangerous, problem!! |
