Default Attacked by visor!!

Yes it's true. I took a "spirited" corner with my visor in the down position by the side window and "whack" right in the head. Is there a way to tighten up the visor so it won't attack me again.

No physical damage to me.....Wifey says it's because I'm hard headed.....but it was a little disconcerting since I didn't expect it.

That's pretty funny! You must sit really close to the wheel; I'm 6'1" and I have to sit up a few inches to get the visor even close to my head in any position.

I'm still trying to visualize how you would get pimp slapped by your car.

Well, I'm 6'1" also, but my wife also drives the car and sometimes I forget to press the memory button. With the visor to the side the quick change of direction caused it to quickly rotate right into my head. WTF!

Anyway, has anyone else has this problem, and fixed it? I'm not sure how to remove the visor.

You could always do what I did...delete the visors all together and put some nice window tint in.
