Consumer Description

THE SUN VISORS ARE POORLY DESIGNED. IT WORKS WELL IN THE FORWARD POSITION, BUT NOT SO WHEN TURNED TO THE SIDE WINDOW. THE VISOR TILTS UP AT LEAST 30 DEGREES FROM HORIZONTAL, WHEN IT IS TURNED TOWARD THE SIDE WINDOW. THE RESULT IS THE VISOR IS INCHES TOO HIGH TO BLOCK THE SUN. THE VISORS ARE USELESS AT THE SIDE WINDOWS, CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD FOR THE DRIVER, WHENEVER THE SUN IS ON THE LEFT OF THE CAR. MY WIFE AND I ARE 5' 7" AND 5' 10" WE HAVE NOT ENCOUNTERED ANY OTHER CAR WITH THIS PROBLEM IN OUR COMBINED 80+ YEARS OF DRIVING. THE HONDA DEALER CANNOT DO ANYTHING. THE PART WORKS, AS IT WAS DESIGNED. I REPORTED THE MATTER TO HONDA AMERICA TODAY. *TR
