THE SUN VISORS ON MY DAUGHTERS 2006 HONDA CIVIC HAVE COMPLETELY FELL APART. I HAVE BEEN READING ON LINE THAT THIS IS A FREQUENT OCCURRENCE.

MY 2006 CIVIC LX COUPE HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE WINDSHIELD VISORS. I PLACE A WINDSHIELD SHADE DAILY WHEN I PARK MY CAR AT WORK AND USE THE VISOR TO HOLD THE SHADE IN PLACE. I'VE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE VISOR NOT BEING ABLE TO STAY UP BECAUSE THE PLASTIC PART THAT SURROUNDS THE ROD SPLITS OPEN AND THE VISOR WILL NOT STAY IN THE UP POSITION. A CO-WORKER HAS A 2007 CIVIC AND HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALER REPLACED HIS VISORS AND THEY TOLD HIM THAT THERE WAS A BULLETIN ON THIS ISSUE. MY CIVIC HAS 39000 MILES AND SO I'VE PASSED THE 36000 MILE WARRANTY LIMIT. THE DEALER SAID THAT MY WARRANTY PERIOD IS OVER SINCE I WAS OVER 36000 MILES. I HAVE READ THAT THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS VISOR PROBLEM AND I FEEL THAT THIS CAN CAUSE A VISIBILITY PROBLEM. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE WARRANTY IS OVER, BUT THE VISOR HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MILEAGE. *TR
