Description of the problem	Sunday 8/1/10 the drivers' side visor in our 2003 toyota highlander was fine. Monday 8/2/10 when attempting to position the visor it would flop down and hang in a vertical position obstructing the drivers view of the road, you could not bend it back against the windshield. It blocks the driver's view making it unusable and unsafe. I went to the toyota dealer to have it repaired. The dealer claimed that it could not be repaired and that a replacement would cost over $700 dollars. The attachment is where the problem is. They claimed they couldn't fix it. This is a clear safety issue and i feel that toyota should be responsible for its repair.
