Description of the problem	My passenger side sun visor broke internally and the internal spring forced it to point straight down. It blocked the driver's view of vehicles approaching from a side street on the right . I have fiddled with it and got it to stay up about 3 inches from the roof , but it keeps creeping back down . I ordered a replacement sun visor from toyota through my local toyota dealership in january . The order was "back ordered" and has yet to be shipped from ( i presume ) south east toyota distributors .
