Driver's side sun visor suddenly made a "crack" noise during normal operation and now the visor does not stay in place. I am not unable to use during bright sunny days because it greatly reduces my visibility by not staying in position. Instead I have to fight the sun which is dangerous too.

On april 13th, the weather was warm in the middle of the afternoon. I opened up my sunroof with intent to open it only partially. I have tried unsuccessfully to close my sunroof now. The mechanism that slides shut, does not work properly anymore. When the roof gets to the point of closing, it automatically goes back. I had to inch the sunroof closed as far as possible. I had to place plastic in the connection area to keep as much rain and wind out.
