| Description of the problem | I have a toyota rav4 that continues to have problems with the drivers side visor suddenly dropping out of the ceiling mount. Of course this happens when i am driving and becomes a huge distraction while trying to get it back in place. I have talked to many other rav4 owners and nearly everyone has had the same issue . It seams that the visor stub arm that goes into the ceiling mount wears our whatever is holding it into the socket . This has happened several times over the last 5 years and does seem to be more often in the summer time |
