Consumer Description

THE DRIVER-SIDE SUN VISOR BROKE AFTER A ROAD TRIP, DURING WHICH IT WAS NOT EVEN USED MUCH. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THIS IS COMMON PROBLEM, AND I HAVE ATTACHED A PICTURE WHICH GIVES AN EXAMPLE OF THE COMMON PROBLEM THAT HAS EXACTLY OCCURRED FOR ONE OF MY SUN VISORS. THIS IS A FRUSTRATING PROBLEM, AND I HAVE NEEDED TO SPEND THE PAST 3 WEEKS DRIVING ONE-HANDED BECAUSE MY OTHER HAND IS NEEDED TO KEEP THE SUN VISOR FROM TOTALLY IMPAIRING MY VISION. I HAVE EVEN DEVELOPED PAIN IN MY ARM WHICH I MOST COMMONLY USE TO SUPPORT THE VISOR WHILE DRIVING. I CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT PREVENTS DRIVING WITH 2 HANDS. MY VISION IS TOTALLY OBSCURED WHEN IT IS NOT SUPPORTED BECAUSE I AM TALL PERSON (6'5"). IT IS AN ISSUE ALWAYS, WHEN VEHICLE IS DRIVING OR PARKED.
