Description of the problem	The visor on the driver's side no longer stays up, so it either has to be pushed to the side thus blocking the side view, or left as is blocks the ahead view, or must be held with one arm while driving one-armed (not ideal driving conditions). My garage is ordering a new visor but was told these visors are on backorder - there are 1000 already on backorder! Seems there is a major problem here.
