| Description of the problem | The driver and passenger sun visors do not stay in place when not in use. The hazard is that when a person enters the car, the sun visor hits his or her head if they are not careful. Also, because the sun visor is lower than most normal sun visors, it blocks the driver's view somewhat. I have a 2007 toyota camry and i've had trouble ever since i bought this car brand new in 2007. To correct this failure, i have tied the sun visor with duct tape, and connected it to the top handle and the eye glass tray (at the top middle of the car cabin). If i have to use the visor for sun, it constantly swings and is a distraction while driving. Therefore, i wear sunglasses for this defect. *kb |
