Condition
Some customers may comment that the front sunshade (sun visor) doesn't stay in position tightly against the headliner when in the up position and
clipped into the center mount.
Cause
The condition may be caused by the sunshade being over extended (forced) along the slide on rod to the end of its travel. This over extension can cause
the detent spring to be pulled off of the flat on the slide on rod and can cause the detent function to be inoperative.
Correction
In many cases, the detent spring can be re-seated into the correct position. Use the following procedure to correct the condition.
1. Position the sunshade in the forward position and engage the sunshade into the center clip.
