| Description of the problem | The driver side sun visor on my 2007 toyota camry le broke. The plastic snapped which doesn't allow for the visor to stay in place and therefore blocks driver's view. When i looked at where the plastic broke, it seems as if the metal hinge that allows the visor to move up and down caused the plastic to snap in half (near the hinge). I have not yet repaired this as i've noticed that many people have had this issue and am hoping it will be recalled. Currently it is being held together with clamps as a temporary solution. I use my visor on a normal basis (morning drive to block the sun, evening drive to block the sun). |
