Consumer Description
I WENT TO MOVE MY DRIVERS SIDE SUN-VISOR TO BLOCK THE SUN AND IT SPLIT AND PARTIALLY CAME APART HITTING MY HEAD AND CUTTING MY SKIN. MORE URGENTLY, IT BLOCKED MY VIEW OF THE ROAD AND I HAD TROUBLE MOVING IT OUT OF THE WAY. FOR SEVERAL LONG SECONDS, I WAS TRAVELING 65 MILES PER HOUR, FIGHTING WITH THE VISOR, UNABLE TO ROTATE IT OUT OF THE WAY BECAUSE IT WAS BROKEN, WITH NO FORWARD VIEW OF THE ROADWAY. I WAS EVENTUALLY ABLE TO MOVE IT TO THE SIDE AND HOLD IT THERE WITH MY LEFT HAND WHILE I TRAVELED TO MY DESTINATION. ONCE I ARRIVED I REMOVED IT WITH A SCREW DRIVER. UPON INSPECTION OF THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR, IT IS STARTING TO SPLIT ALSO. *TR
