| Description of the problem | 2007 toyota camry; the drivers side sun visor has "popped" & broken loose from the mounting bracket, in such a way that the visor will not remain in a stationary position, and hangs loosely, in line-of-sight for driving. I had to physically hold it with one hand in order to see clearly while driving in mid-day traffic. When i reached my destination i decided to remove the visor entirely because it is a dangerous interference while driving. On a search for a replacement part i found a toyota internet forum, where this is frequent complaint for 2007 and 2008 camry's, so it appears to be a design flaw - one that can seriously impair the driver's field of vision and cause a collision. |
