Consumer Description

BOTH VISORS FAILED COMPLETELY WITHIN 24 HOURS OF EACH OTHER. WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR FELL WITHOUT MY TOUCHING IT AND I COULD NOT GET IT TO STAY UP. IT BLOCKED MY VISIBILITY SO I HAD TO HOLD IT UP SO I COULD SEE CLEARLY TO DRIVE. UPON INSPECTION I SAW THAT THE VISOR HAD SPLIT AT THE HINGE, BASICALLY LOOKS AS IF IT HAD EXPLODED FROM THE INSIDE. WHEN I GOT INTO MY CAR THIS MORNING, THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS IN THE SAME CONDITION. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN, IF YOU ARE DRIVING THE VISORS OBSTRUCT VISIBILITY. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO DRIVE WITH TWO VISORS BLOCKING MY VISION? I CAN'T GET THEM TO STAY UP. THERE IS NO OPTION FOR VISOR UNDER FAILED COMPONENT 1 AND 2 BELOW SO I SELECTED VISIBILITY/WIPER.
