Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING, I PULLED DOWN THE SUN VISOR TO SHIELD MY VISION FROM THE SUN. I HEARD A STRANGE CRACKING NOISE AND THE SUN VISOR BECAME VERY FLOPPY. IT WILL NO LONGER STAY IN THE UP POSITION, AND THIS POSED A VISIBILITY PROBLEM, AND SO I WAS FORCED TO REMOVE THE SUN VISOR. NOW I HAVE NO WAY TO SHIELD MY EYES FROM THE SUN, WHICH ALSO POSES A VISIBILITY PROBLEM. *TR
