    The driver side visor started sagging. For a while i could push it back up and it would stay. After a couple months, i could not use it on the side window, it just hung down.

    Defroster system is weak. When there is ice/snow build-up along edges of windshield or windows, system needs to be turned to and kept on highest setting to avoid fogging on the inside. Even at this setting, it has trouble clearing fog from rear side windows. System is pretty loud at highest setting so it's hard to listen to radio or carry on a conversation. *tr
