Description of the problem | As always when i arrive to work i put up the sunscreen in the front window. It is held in place by the driver's and passenger's sun visors. When i proceeded to remove the screen after work, the visor would not return to its normal "locked" position. Regardless of the angle of the visor, it would not stay in place. I had to drive home holding the visor up with one hand, because it would obstruct my line of vision if left to hang. When i arrived home, i was able to figure out how to take it off the arm swing. It was not difficult and it slid off easily. It appears the plastic casing that would surround the arm swing has failed. I am currently without a driver's side visor. |
