| Description of the problem | The driver sun visor will not stay up and falls down obstructing my view while driving. While doing research on the internet there seems to be a large number of complaints of this same default of toyota highlanders sun visors falling downing and not remaining seated in the upright position. There is not any garage door openers or any other devices on the visor to cause extra heaviness that would lead to the failing of the visor. I have to put tape on the visor to provide myself with an unobstructed view to safely drive. |
