Is My Visor Broken????

Since I've bought the truck, my visor seems to have a life of its own. The visor will easily drop down to be level like a shelf and then it takes some force to rotate it below that level to shield my eyes from the sun. I don't know if this is something the PO use to do and just wore it down or if it supposed to be like that. None of the dealers can tell me if this is normal or if it's broken (and I don't want to walk onto a used car lot and be assaulted by a salesman to test one out).

I know it's trivial and there is SO much other PMS that is on my dream list, but it's getting worse and falling down all the time and DRIVING ME NUTS .

The last thing I want to do is buy a new one and find out that they are all that way. That's money that I could have spent buying something from Clay .

Thanks for any help on my ridiculously miniscule issue.

It would have to become irritating right when my water pump decides to retire on me...

Luckily Clay has a KILLER deal on an OEM replacement!

That visor is broken. Mine moves easily but not on it's own.

Thanks for the replies. I'll have to price one out when I stop by the dealer to pick up some parts for my water pump (I already got the pump from Clay)...

As other have said, your visor is broke.
Mine doesn't flop down

Thanks. I'll give them a try, especially since the dealer wants $127 for one! Even with the military discount he gives me it only knocks it down $30 from there.
