Description of the problem	Sunvisor on 2002 toyota highlander constantly falls down into driver's field of vision. Visor was replaced one time under warranty but problem has returned. Cost to repair per toyota dealer is $650 for parts plus labor - the visor contains a lighted vanity mirror and a homelink remote control so it is an expensive part to repair. The visor cannot be used in a 'partially lowered' position to block sun or reflections as it constantly falls into the 'fully lowered' position which obstructs the driver's field of view. The only way to keep the visor from sagging into the driver's field of view is to use tape or velcro to attach it to the ceiling. This prevents the visor from being used in the intended manner to block sun or reflections. This is a safety hazard because the driver can't prevent sunlight and glare from diminishing visibility. This increases the chance for accidents or hitting objects or pedestrians in the road.
