DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR FALLING DOWN NOT STAYING UP. THE BASE PART OF THE SUM VISOR BECOMES DETACHED FROM THE BODY OF THE SUN VISOR MAKING IT HARD TO OUT THE SUN VISOR BACK UP BLOCKING THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONED WHEN I FIRST BEGAN TO NOTICE THE SUN VISOR FALL HALF WAY DOWN. AFTER A LONG DRIVE OUT OF STATE, ON THE HIGHWAY, THE SUN VISOR DROPED ALL THE WAY DOWN AND WOULD NO LONGER STAY UP
DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR MAKING CLICKING SOUNDS NOW HAS TOTALLY BROKEN OFF, MAKING DRIVING DANGEROUS. MY WINDOW RUBBER SILLS ARE MELTING MAKING WINDOWS STILL JUST LIKE THE DASHBOARD MELTING

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 5:45 A.M., NO CARS IN SIGHT, I HEAR A LOUD NOISE SUCH AS THAT YOU WOULD HEAR FROM A GUNSHOT. STARTLED, I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY TO ASSESS THE SITUATION. MY SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED WITHOUT CAUSE. IT LOOKED AS IF IT WAS BLOWN OUT FROM THE INSIDE. LUCKILY FOR ME, THE COVER WAS CLOSED SO NO GLASS HAD FALLEN INSIDE THE CABIN. WITH NO CARS IN SIGHT, I QUICKLY DISMISSED THE IDEA THAT IT WAS A ROCK OR ROAD DEBRIS. IT JUST RANDOMLY EXPLODED WITHOUT WARNING. THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE WAS 46F AND THE DIGITAL CLIMATE CONTROL WAS SET TO 72F. I AM VERY THANKFUL THAT MY TWO YEAR OLD SON WAS NOT IN THE CAR AS THE NOISE WAS VERY LOUD.
THE SUN VISOR DETACHED ON BOTH SIDES. STARTED MAKING A POP NOISE THEN NEVER WENT BACK UP AFTER I TRIED BLOCKING THE SUN IN MY FACE WHILE DRIVING.
