THIS SUN VISOR DRIVERS SIDE WILL NOT STAY UP IN THE CLOSED POSITION, THERE IS NO ADJUSTMENT WHICH CAN BE MADE TO FIX IT. ACCORDING TO TOYOTA DEALER IN NEWARK DE A NEW VISOR IS NEEDED. I UNDERSTAND FROM THE DEALER THIS IS A VERY FREQUENT AND COMMON PROBLEM, WITH MANY MODEL YEARS.' *TR
THE SUN VISOR DROPS SUDDENLY CAUSING MOMENTARY LOSS OF VISUAL CONTACT WITH THE ROAD AHEAD. *TR
I HAVE A 2003 TOY RAV 4 AND THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR LOST ALL OF ITS ELASTICITY AND NO LONGER STAYS IN THE UP POSITION. I WAS DRIVING WEST ON A BUSY HIGHWAY AROUND SUN SET WHEN TRAFFIC CAME TO AN ABRUPT STOP. MY VISOR SLAMMED DOWN AND I NEARLY HIT THE VEH IN FRONT OF ME AS I COULD NOT SEE. I HAVE TRIED VELCRO OF ALL KINDS AND GLUE. I HAVE A FRIEND WITH A 2003 RAV 4 AND THE EXACT SAME THING HAS HAPPENED TO HER CAR. (WILL PROVIDE HER INFO UPON REQUEST). I TRIED COMPLAINING TO TOYOTA AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME 125.00 FOR A NEW VISOR WHEN IT IS CLEARLY DEFECTIVE. 2 RAV 4'S THAT I KNOW OF HAVE FAULTY VISORS. I WILL KEEP TAPING IT BUT I AM AFRAID IT IS GOING TO KEEP COMING DOWN AT THE MOST INAPPROPRIATE TIMES. CAN...
