Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN MY VISOR SIMPLY FELL AND HIT ME IN THE FACE. IT WILL NO LONGER STAY UP OR IN THE "DOWN" POSITION, IT ONLY HANGS THERE BLOCKING A GOOD PORTION OF THE WINDSHIELD. I HAVE TO USE THE REAR VIEW MIRROR TO PROP THE THING UP SO THAT I CAN SEE TO DRIVE. I FEEL FORTUNATE THAT WHEN IT FELL IT DID NOT STARTLE ME ENOUGH TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IT IS A HAZARD TO NOT BE ABLE TO USE IT IN THE SUN, I LIVE IN ARIZONA AND IT IS BRUTAL HERE. THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR IS ALSO STARTING TO SHOW SIGNS OF NOT STAYING IN PLACE, NOT AS MUCH OF A SAFETY ISSUE, BUT STILL A PROBLEM. *TR
