help! problem with sun visor

imjustconvenient · 08-31-2007, 06:18 PM

my '07 civic sedan is parked in my school parking lot throughout the whole day, so i usually put a sun shade on my window. about three weeks ago, the passenger side of my sun visor broke while it was down holding up the sun shade. i'm convinced it had something to do with the heat interfering with the plastic, so it cracked and would not go back up. the honda dealership was nice enough to replace it for me without questions asked, but just today, my other one broke! same situation.

has anyone else been having problems with this? or have any suggestions as to what i can do? (i live in arizona, so getting rid of my sun shade is not an option) i don't want to have to go back to the dealership every so often because the same situation keeps happening.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Known issue, unfortunately. The only thing we can do is to wait until they create a fix for our cheap sunvisors. That's what Honda/We get for making a two-piece visor instead of a simple one piece like traditional ones....

Ya. It's a well known issue. Check out this thread Is there a "fix" to our proned sunvisors?.

I haven't had any problems with mine, but I know people who have.

I admit, thats the worst part of the interior, in my opinion. They look cheap and out of place, to me.

But I suppose they're fine in a sub compact economy car.

I avoided it for a year by being very careful. First hot day of this summer. BAM, exploding sunvisor because I was not paying attention.

Honda dealers already feel my wrath about the build quality of my car and constant warranty appointments.

Honda proper will feel my wrath if my sunvisor explodes and plastic embeds itself in my head.

i just got my second one replaced yesterday. the dealership said there was nothing they could do except replace it with the same exact sunvisor so i suppose they'll be seeing a lot of me until they find a fix to this problem.

thanks for all the help!!!
