Problem overview

Some Nissan Murano owners report experiencing issues with the driver's side sun visor failing to stay up, which can obstruct visibility while driving and pose safety risks. This problem is often attributed to the early deterioration of the plastic arm inside the visor, which can break easily, especially in cold weather. Additionally, a cheap plastic bracket holding the visor arm in place is prone to snapping, leading to further complications. Some owners have also noted a faulty tack weld used by Nissan that keeps tension on the visor's rotating mechanism, making replacement with a new visor potentially risky due to inconsistent quality. To address this issue, some owners consider replacing the entire visor assembly, while others have successfully performed DIY repairs. A temporary solution some have employed is swapping the driver's side visor with the passenger's side, though this may create minor inconveniences.
