| Description of the problem | The driver side sun visor for my vehicle has been drooping for over a year. It would hang just low enough to obstruct my vision through the windshield, but also block view of the rear view mirror. For some time, i was able to work around the problem, shifting the visor backwards against the windshield, in order to provide clear vision. This morning, however, i entered my vehicle to find that the visor had completely broken. Now, there is no tension to hold the visor in place against the roof of the vehicle or the windshield, it merely hangs down. There is no way for me to safely drive my vehicle, as my view of the road is completely obstructed. Shifting the visor off to the side only serves to block any and all view of my blind spots. |
