Hi all, I have a problem with the sun visors on my Highlander. The visors seem overly heavy and due to the normal vibrations in the car they frequently fall down, which is quite disconcerting when driving! I've talked to Toyota but they mention it's not covered by my extended warrenty and I'm going to have to pay to get them fixed. I'm concerned as it looks to be a design fault (i.e. both visors are falling down, due to the weight of the things) and I don't want to pay for new ones to be in exactly the same situation in 18 months time. Does anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions which could help me out. Cheers, Danny I am having the same problem with my 2002 Highlander. I have rigged a bungi cord to keep it up. It stinks when the sun is in front of me because I have to unhook the bungi to pull it down. I tried velcro but it wouldn't stick to the roof.
I had the same problem with my 2002 Highlander and had the visor replaced twice. This was the driver's side one with the remote garage door entry. The first time was under warranty. The second time they told me that it was going to be an outrageous $630 plus labor to be replaced as I was past warranty. I decided to go with the basic visor without the remote door entry which was $75 and I replaced it myself. This has been in place for almost two years without a problem. I was mad about it all though and called customer service explaining that it was ridiculous that an item which was absolutely necessary for safe driving (especially in sunny California where I live) should be a problem. They ended up giving me a $600 credit to use for future service at any Toyota dealer. I kept the simple visor and got new brakes instead and other service instead. I felt that they listened to my concern and were fair about the solution even if there should not have been a problem in the first place. Hope this helps.
I know this might be a little late in the game, but couldn't you use a commercial strength Velcro tape that matched the interior of your car to hold the visors us sans a bungee cord?
