Consumer Description

THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR DOES NOT STAY IN PLACE WHEN IT IS ALL THE WAY UP. BECAUSE OF THE INHERENT DESIGN PROBLEM AND POSSIBLY BECAUSE OF WEIGHT AND OR VIBRATION OF THE VISOR IT FALLS DOWN MAY BE UP TO 30 DEGREES. THERE ARE TWO POSSIBLE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS ISSUE: 1. SAFETY ISSUE: IT PARTIALLY BLOCKS THE VISION OF THE DRIVER ON THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING WHICH IS DANGEROUS. 2. PHYSICAL INJURY: WHILE THE DRIVER IS EXITING OUT OF THE CAR OR WHEN THE DRIVER MOVES HIS HEAD FORWARD, THERE ARE CHANCES THAT HE/SHE MAY BUMP THEIR FOREHEAD TO THE VISOR. *TR
