Description of the problem	The driver side visor made a strange sound as i pulled it down in a normal fashion. When i tried to return it to the normal position, it just flopped back down. It will not stay in place. I have tried velcro strips and tape to hold it in position and nothing works. The visor is obstructing my view and it will swing around when i make turns, which results in the visor hitting me in the head while i'm attempting to drive with an already obstructed view. To make matters worse, tonight i was driving and the light that normally comes on when you open the mirror, came on unexpectedly and would not turn off. I had to drive for 25 minutes with my passenger holding their hand over the light so that i could drive home. This probably wound not have been such a problem in the daylight, however, this was at night. I have contacted hyundai about this problem and they told me that it would cost over $70 just for the visor and even more to have it installed. They also told me that there was a recall on the 2006 sonata but that doesn't help me.
