My driver's side visor no longer stays up. It sags and I was using velcro to keep it as close to the roof of my car as possible since it would sag into my line of vision.

2004 toy 4runner. Drivers side sun visor is loose and "drops" into the drivers filed of view, especially for a tall driver like me... Leaning forward will allow the driver to hit head against it. This started a little while ago, and is now just ongoing.

I have a 2004 toyota 4 runner that has a problem with its rear wiper blade not working and rear defrost. I had to bring it in for them to reset it after the reset it worked for about a week then stopped working again. I was told that there's a glitch in the wiper and rear defrost computer that needs replacement but was not recalled yet so I had to pay for it myself. Not have the money to do so it still not working and find it very hard to drive in inclement weather.

After about 12months of normal/ typical use, the sun visor (on the driver side) will no longer stay up; it constantly drops. This is a huge distraction and obstructs the field of view.

The moon roof would not return to original position, had to buy a repair kit from toyota, they know of this problem but would not fix it. Had to bring repair kit to a local body shop. Toyota knows of this problem, but does not think it dangerous enough to fix at their cost. Laid out 225.00 to fix.
