| Description of the problem | Driver's side visor fails to stay up. Visor seems to be too heavy to support itself. Visor falls down due to road vibrations and blocks eye sight for taller drivers. Tried simple fixes using velcro and super glue - but all failed when summer interior temperatures caused the glue / adhesive to fail and problem continues. Complete replacement seems to be only solution. |
