SUN VISORS ON BOTH THE DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE GLUE GIVES OUT CAUSING THE CLAMP TO LOSE TENSION AND THE VISOR TO FALL DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THIS CAN STARTLE THE DRIVER CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. HONDA KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT HAS YET TO FIX THE PART. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE DRIVERS SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE VISORS REPLACED THREE TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2006. THIS ISSUE AFFECTS CIVICS BOTH TWO AND FOUR DOOR MODELS IN THE 2006 THRU 2010 YEAR MODELS. I CURRENTLY HAVE 111,000 MILES ON MY CAR WITH A PASSENGER SIDE VISOR WHICH HAS GONE OUT FOR THE SAME ISSUE AGAIN. WHEN ADDED TO THE VISORS WHICH CAME WITH THE CAR, I CURRENTLY HAVE HAD FOUR GO BAD ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND FIVE GO BAD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. HONDA MAKES VISORS THAT WILL NOT GO BAD IN THIS WAY IN THEIR OTHER MODELS. THEY SHOULD BE MADE TO FIX THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM, SUN VISOR DESIGN. *TR
