Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AND MY DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR FLOPPED DOWN. AS IT WAS ATTACHED BY WIRES TO LIGHT THE MIRROR, IT DANGLED IN THE WAY. SO, WITH ONE HAND I KEPT IT OUT OF MY WAY SO I COULD CONTINUE TO DRIVE AND PULL OVER TO SAFETY. THE VISOR BROKE FROM WITHIN THE BALL JOINT THAT LETS IT ROTATE DOWN AND TO THE SIDE. NOTHING I COULD DO WOULD HOLD IT IN PLACE, DUCT TAPE, VELCRO, ETC..., SO I HAD TO CUT THE WIRES AND REMOVE THE VISOR SO I COULD DRIVE. THE SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED TWO WEEKS LATER TO MY PASSENGER SIDE VISOR. I HAD TO REMOVE IT TOO. NOW TO GET ONE VISOR REPLACED IT WOULD COST ME $150.00 OF WHICH I COULD NOT, AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO AFFORD SINCE IT HAPPENED. I AM DRIVING AROUND IN A CAR THAT DOES NOT HAVE SUN VISORS IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WHERE THE SUN SHINES LONG AND HARD. *TR
