Model Year	2005
File date	01/01/13
Component	VISIBILITY/WIPER
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The driver side visor is drooping more and more. Now it is partly in my line of sight (i'm 6'3") and when i hit a bump it drops down even further and blocks about half of my vision out the windshield. Very dangerous. Before i start driving, i can gently raise it and slowly let it drop to where it stops where it only partially blocks my vision. As long as i can avoid bumps/potholes, it will stay but it doesn't take much of a bump to knock it loose to where it drops down further and becomes a safety hazard by blocking too much of my vision. This started some years ago and has steadily gotten worse.
