    I have had to replace both sun visors every summer since I bought the vehicle as the glue that holds them together melts in the NM summer

    sunvisor has been replaced on drivers side twice by honda. broken again. next owner will repair. add to the list of motor mounts, control arms, new tires every 20k miles, alignment every 10k, now paint is cracking on the hood. Car is garaged since new and well taken care of. Quality is suffering at Honda, at least on Civic models. Taking my money elsewhere next year, not to Honda

    Driver's side visor is broke so much that it wouldn't go back up. I eventually had it torn off. Now I stuggle when the sun is low while driving. Havent' gotten it fixed yet.

    Driver side sun visor was left "down" on a hot day. The casing came apart and the visor was unable to push back into place. Had to manually move the interior pieces to get visor to retract into "up" position. Visor is currently unuseable.

    I didn't notice a problem until the visor broke one day, wouldn't hold position. When I inspected it, I found it was split open. I then checked the passenger side, same thing. I searched the issue on the web and found it's quite common. I learned about the warranty extension on the visors (7 years, 100,000 miles, for some models, not all). Honda didn't just extend it volutarily, it was the result of a class action law suit. I went to the dealer and they verified eligibility based on the VIN and I picked up two new visors two days later. Be sure to keep your old mounting screws, they don't come with new ones.
