The tension that holds the visor is broke and it tired to fix it by putting velcro, it falls and does not want to stay. The sad part is it is on the driver side, my passenger side seems to work fine and no issues with that.
I pulled the visor and checked it to see if there is any spring or anything. looks like there is no moving part that could be adjusted. i am going to try fixing it by gluing magnets on the visor and on the roof. From the responses, i see that it costs about $110 to replace the sun visor which I believe is not worth. I am going to shop around for a knock off from ebay or elsewhere.
I am on my third driver side visor and second passenger side visor. It seems there is a problem with this part. I am contacting Toyota about this issue.
Having the same problem. It appears that the tension rod retains tension it appears, but the plastic that surround the sturdy metal tensioner has broken, thus the visor can't hold tension any longer. Very disappointing, looks like I will have to purchase a new one as well. Toyota isn't doing so great these days.
i too have this problem..The dealer replaced the driver side visor a year a ago because the vehicle was still under warranty. (2008 camry) ..But now both visors are broken- they wont stay up.. The dealer is asking for $160 EACH installed!!!
Yes. The plastic casing is weak. It seems like a design issue. I have fixed mine and I am pretty sure it will last. Please watch my DIY video on YouTube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvPxParKy...

I found a inexpensive way to fix sun visor problem.
Thanks, Toyota does have a under the table recall on this now, so my dealer replaced mine for free.

I am having the same exact problem kpadmana but I can't find any thing really cheap. The used ones cost about $50 and $45 to put it up. Toyota should have a recall on that since it's unsafe to drive like that and it hits on the head every time you enter the car. They will be sued eventually.
I am having the same problem, it is the drivers side. I thought toyota was better built then this. I have had several problems with mine. We will not be buying another one for sure... :(
I have a 2007 Camry also and the driver side visor just broke today. Ugghh...so annoying.
I have the same problem, there should be a recall with this part. it is trully disapointing. i have two toyotas and i might think twice on my next purchase.
Having the same problem :(
I had both of mine brake I took it to Toyota in corona ca and they replaced both for free. The mechanic said its a huge problem It should a recall issue.
I called Piercey Toyota here in Milpitas, CA yesterday to order a new driver's side sun visor for my 2007 Camry and they told me that there is a recall so I made an appt. this morning to have it checked and they told me that both driver and passenger side visors are defective and will be replaced free of charge, some kind of extended warranty on a defective part. So if you have the same problem, contact your nearest Toyota dealer. Hope this will help.

Same here with my 2007 Camry SE. This is a poor design and now paying 160 + bucks to get it fixed from a dealer is a plain rip off by Toyota. I actually noticed this issue pretty early when I bought my vehicle, that flipping it down n back made it feel like some cheap plastic, would come off some day, and it did today... when out of warranty...sigh...

I also own a 2007 Camry and am experiencing the same problem. It just happened recently for no apparent reason. It's a safety hazard and definitely an accident waiting to happen since the visor blocks your vision of the road ahead. Toyota should recall these sun visors before someome gets into an accident.
Mine is broken also. Replacing them is expensive and the new one will break after a couple of years. Seems that they are made to break by design.
