Consumer Description

THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DROPS DOWN. THE SWIVEL PIN THAT HOLDS IT IN PLACE CONSISTS OF A PLASTIC SLEEVE COVERING A METAL ROD. THE PLASTIC SLEEVE HAS BROKEN AND WILL NOT EXERT ENOUGH FORCE TO KEEP THE VISOR FROM UNEXPECTEDLY DROPPING DOWN, OBSCURING THE DRIVER'S VISION. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE AT HIGHWAY SPEED (65 MPH). APPARENTLY, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN 2010 AND RELATED YEARS OF THE IMPREZA AS THERE ARE MULTIPLE REPORTS OF THIS ON THE INTERNET AND THERE ARE EVEN AFTERMARKET PARTS MANUFACTURERS SELLING REDESIGNED REPLACEMENT VISORS. THIS IS DEFINITELY A "THRILL" WHEN IT HAPPENS IN TRAFFIC, AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND YOU CAN'T SEE. *TR
