THE VISOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE IN 2007 HONDA CIVIC LX MODEL IS MADE OF CHEAP PLASTIC AND CRACKS OPEN IF YOU HAPPEN TO PULL IT DOWN AND PUT IT BACK UP FREQUENTLY. ONCE IT CRACKS OPEN IT WILL NOT STAY UP AGAIN AND HANGS LOOSE DOWN OBSTRUCTING THE DRIVER'S VIEW. IT HANGS DOWN AND VERY ANNOYING WHILE DRIVING AS FRONT VIEW IS OBSTRUCTED BECAUSE OF LOOSE HANGING VISOR. MY CAR IS JUST ONE AND HALF YEAR OLD AND IT HAS ALREADY CRACKED OPEN TWICE. LAST TIME WHEN THE DEALER REPLACED IT SINCE IT IS UNDER WARRANTY IT CRACKED OPEN IN JUST COUPLE MONTHS. IF THIS PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED IT WILL BECOME A SAFETY HAZARD AS PEOPLE CAN NOT GO ON BUYING AND REPLACING THE VISOR EVERY MONTH AND IN THE ABSENCE MAY GET INVOLVED IN CAR ACCIDENTS DUE TO VISION GETTING BLOCKED WITH VISOR. *TR
