While trying to adjust them they simply fell off. The drivers side broke first and within 2 months the passenger side also broke. When the first broke i thought it was just some aberration, but after the second i realized…

The sunvisors are very cheaply made. They use a metal clip that swivels around a road and a plastic casing around the metal clip. The metal clip puts way too much pressure for the plastic to withstand, resulting in failure. Numerous people have complained of their sunvisors breaking and suddenly hanging in their face, blocking their vision. When this happens, the sunvisors must be forcefully pulled out of their…
