Re: Sun Visor Problem
Hello,this is my 1st post. Just bought 2002 Hl. Same problem dri side vis falls down.This is definatly a design flaw.I took mine off sqeezed the cheap tin tube togeter and still had problem.I did finally fix it for about 15 cents and it works perfect.If you want the steps to do it e-mail me and I will give you a step by step details on what I did. I can tell you that the dealer sells the visor with a cutout for the lighted mirror for $67.but you will lose your I-link on the visor.the other problem also is the plastic that is around the visor shaft that connects to the roof also wears,so replacing the visor alone may not correct the problem unless you replace the shaft also.the visor moves independently on the shaft,the shaft does not move,over time the plastic shaft wears and the cheap tin in the visor that goes over the shaft weakens that why even when you squeeze it together and put it back on the shaft it will not work,and even if you buy the shaft and visor you will still encounter the problem again because of the design and toyota will not do anything about it once your warranty expires.if you have alittle know how and want to attempt the fix i did it will take you about 1 to 2 hours and cost you under a dollar.Just scroll a few posts down I posted what worked for me.Good Luck.
