| Description of the problem | I have a 2006 hyundai sonata that has sun visors that do not stay in place. It just recently started. At first the visors would slip and i would move them back into place. Then a week or so ago both visors have started this. This is a huge driving/safety hazard. The roadside issues are too numerous to name. I cannot believe hyundai will not recall the cars with this problem. There are too many cars with the identical problem. I have since applied liberally super glue to the rollers on the visor itself. For now, the visors stays in place. I will have to lift each visor out to move it into another position,even the slightest move would seem to break the seal the glue has made. I will carry some super glue with me for now. But for now, the visors are up and out of the way. I am very disappointed in hyundai corp for not addressing this problem. |
