| Description of the problem | Driving on i-5 monday am to work and due to the sun shining in my eyes put the visor down. Later when the sun went behind some clouds i put the visor back up and i heard noise from the visor that appeared to be like plastic rubbing together. When i let go of the visor it dropped straight down in my line of sight and would not stay up or even forward close to the window. Seems to be a dangerous problem as it is right in the line of sight and cannot be adjusted. I had to uninstall the visor and now i don't have any sunlight protection. The visor worked fine up to this point. No indication of a problem. Have never replaced a visor before this. |
