2007 Toyota Camry CE - Sun Visor (driver's side) won't stay up.

It keeps flapping down. I checked the dealer and it costs $120 each. No one in Sacarmento area sells a used one. Please help to fix it or find me a used one (silver/grey color).
Thank you

    I also have a 2008 Camry and am having the exact same problems with the visor. The driver side visor was hanging straight down to the point where I had to pull it off entirely. The dealer said a replacement was going to cost about $109 plus labor. While I was there the service rep told me that they have been having to replace quite a few of the visors on the newer Camrys. I did call toyota customer service to see what they could do to fix it since my vehicle is out of factory warranty already, and their response was that they haven't had enough reports of the issue to do a recall. I say that if you haven't reported this issue already with toyota customer service (not at the dealer) to do so, this way they might actually do a recall!

    I own a 2007 Toyota Camry and my driver side window just came down the other day which obstructed my view. I called customer service and asked if they would be doing a recall as it looks like there has been many problems with the mirror. Report the issue. Thanks.

    Our 3-year-old Toyota Camry’s sun visor on the driver side was broken. I searched the web and found that’s pretty common for model year 2007 and 2008. Toyota does not recognize it worth a recall. Dealer may charge $90 to $160 to replace a new one as many web posts reported. So I made some effort to fix it on my own. Here is the result:

I have a 2008 camry Se with the visor broken and have an appt. w/ dealer that says it is covered for 3yrs / 36k miles. Until they replace the type of plastic that surrounds the hinge, this will keep on breaking. My visor completely broke out of the hinge just by flipping it down. I think it gets too tight that there is no give when you pull it down and it breaks the plastic frame. I opened the visor and it's cheap soft plastic w/ a little bit of grease-like substance. Maybe the grease meant to loosen the visor melted the plastic. I've had 5 older Toyotas and this is the first time it broke off. The other would just get loose and I would just tighten the screws.

    Exact same thing happened to my 2007 camry that is only a couple months out of warranty. I love toyotas, but it seems like Toyota doesn't want to acknowlege this common problem, since it will mean yet another recall for them. Seems like a safety recall to me if you cant see the road.

  • nbabaria2002 Mar 10, 2011

    Exact same happend to me I have Camry 2007 We all should get together and ask for Recall

I believe the Toyota company should recall and repair the driver's side sunvisor. I have never had one to break before.

TRY EBAY OR TAKE TO FABRIC SHOP SEE IF THEY CAN TAKE APART TO SEE WHAT IT IS.. BUT YOU MAVE HAVE TO BUY A NEW ONE

  • joedeenate Nov 21, 2010

    I have a 2007 model also, and thought that it was because we were too rough with the visor, but mine broke off about a month ago and now it's just sitting in my car. Before it broke off, it was doing the same thing. It was just flapping around and in my face when I had it down. It finally broke off and scared the **** out of me because I was driving when it happened. Could have caused an accident. Very disappointing. I'm definitely reporting this to Toyota. They need to have this taken care of and do a recall. This is a safety issue!!

  • Anonymous Nov 22, 2010

    I have the same issue. I completely ripped it out since it was dangerous to drive. I called Toyota customer service and they didn't consider my request to replace it for FREE. I am getting a new one from the dealer for $125 tax labor cost ($40 may be). It looks like Toyota has started buying cheap China stuff.
    I need to buy a minivan now. But I might go for Honda Odyssey than Sienna (looking at their recent historical issues).

2007 camry sun visor broke. Is any recall for that?

I have a 2007 camry and my driver side visor keeps coming down in my face while driving. I contacted Toyota and they told me that there was no recall. I said that is a very bad safety hazard. Toyota told me that to have it fixed it will cost me $130.00. I work in a automotive parts factory and when we get calls on bad parts that we have manufactuer we replace them. And the parts are for Toyota but the are not the visors. COME ON TOYOTA YOU CAN RECALL THESE BROKEN VISORS!!!!!

Sun visor is hanging lose from my toyota camry 2007, i want to fix it myself, the dealers are a ripoff

Fraud--is when your charged for a service not performed

Ripped Off-- is your perception of being over charged

Get out your screw driver

Sun visor will not stay up. It fall down and obstructs my view of the road. My husband removed it today for safety. The toyota dealer said it would be $130.00 plus labor.

Stay away from dealers they will charge stupid prices, go to a local car garage which isnt dealer specific and they will do it for about $20 including labour at most.

2007 Toyota Camry LE - broken sun visor

most likely a defect. call the dealer and see if toyota has issued a recall on the visor and you might have it replaced for free. other than that, there's always the junkyard.
