The driver's side sun visor has suddenly stopped staying in place. It will not lie flush with the roof of the car, nor will it stay pushed against the windshield. It is a visibility hazard. The light is also no longer functioning. This is not due to any unusual use: i pushed it up, it flopped halfway down and now it stays there, blocking my view of the road. As i searched online for repair suggestions, i saw that a…

In april 2011, the driver's sun visor on my 2007 toyota camry fell down all by itself. It was taped to the roof of the car since getting into the shop was not an option at that time. A few weeks later, the passenger's sun visor fell down all by itself (it too was taped to the roof of the car). The car was taken to the toyota dealership that we have our mechanic work done at and the service person said that we should…

After a short while of noticing a strange clicking sound when placing the driver's side visor into an up, locked position, the visor ceased to lock. When this happened, i could feel the broken piece and it created a "bump" underneath the visor material covering. Eventually, it created enough tension on the visor material that the material pulled away from the vanity mirror exposing some of the plastic underneath.…

The visors stopped staying up, they are not working, first the drivers side broke, it just falls down and will not stay up. Then about 3 months later the passenger side fell down, i have to use a straight pen to mash them to stay up. This should be a recall by toyota since i read about many other people on the internet who have this same problem. *kb
