| Description of the problem | The driver's side sun visor does not stay in its upright flat position. It falls partway down to the point of being aimed directly at the forehead. This not only impedes visibility but also is dangerous if you involved in an accident which would throw you forward. It also will not stay down and pushed all the way forward in order to avoid the hazard of having it angled at your forehead. Having the vehicle in motion on stationary has not effect of this problem. |
