Description of the problem | Sun visor dropped and will stay in place. No reason for this to happen; it's distracting and dangerous as it fails to adequately block the sun. There appears to be a defect in the mechanism holding the visor in place. Compounding the problem is the part is not readily available at parts stores and it's pretty expensive -- more than $100 each for something that never should have failed to begin with. |
