Driver's side sun visor started having difficulty in maintaining the up position, finally failed and would only hang down straight toward the ground obstructing your view.

2008 le Toyota Camry w/ 46,361 miles, outside of mfg warranty (3yrs or 36K miles).

No events leading up to the failure of driver side sun visor. Driver side sun visor keeps falling down, will not stay up, obstructs my driving. Restricts the driver's view of the road. I have to hold the visor in my left hand and drive with my right hand. This is very inconvenient, hazardous, and dangerous. If I detach the right side of the visor from the clip and move it to the left, I can't see oncoming traffic when I attempt to make a left hand turn unless I re-attach the visor to the clip. This distracts me from focusing on the road. Replacement part cost $105, labor cost $25.
