Spring is not broken. It'* just not strong enough to hold them closed when the visor is in this position. Weird both of them sag from a weak spring.

I wanted to see if this was common, if not, I'll make warranty replace the visors.

I have saggy vanity covers...

That sounded bad. :P

Both of the vanity mirror covers sag on mine. I've never been too concerned about them, though.

Hmmmm...both members from TX have a sagging issue...not sure what the connection is, but mine work fine. Perhaps the previous owners were female and they wore them out? I'm always using mine (not while driving, of course!)

LOL!! I told the dealer today it was 02-03 models.. Guess I better call back and tell him it'* a Texas thing...

Anyhow, I have ordered new ones. We'll see what happens.

Good news!

Both visors replaced today and are good and tight!

On the down side, I guess they had to remove some of the headliner to replace them. The two posts coming up the windshield are loose now and don't clamp down very good. But what do you expect from mechanics.. They don't care..
