What is the reason for the Corolla sun visor drooping and not resetting?
2 Answers
Corolla sun visor drooping and not resetting is likely due to a damaged spring inside; replacing the spring should resolve the issue. Related information: 1. Introduction: The sun visor is located near the front and rear windshields of the car, designed to avoid glare from sunlight. It can be moved back and forth to adjust the intensity of sunlight on the eyes, thereby preventing traffic accidents. 2. Function: Its primary role is to block sunlight, preventing strong light from entering the car, especially in summer, which helps reduce the heat inside the vehicle. By blocking sunlight, the sun visor also protects leather seats and the dashboard from UV damage. Additionally, the car sun visor can obstruct visibility, enhancing privacy and increasing the security of items inside the car. The angle of the sun visor can be adjusted to block light at different heights as needed.
When encountering a Corolla's sun visor drooping and not returning to position, I suspect it's mostly due to an issue with the internal spring mechanism. After prolonged use, the spring can wear out or break, losing its elasticity and causing the sun visor to get stuck in the lowered position. Another possibility is that the clips or brackets have loosened, especially in older cars where plastic components are prone to deformation or cracking. Dust or grime buildup in the moving parts can also obstruct proper repositioning. I've worked on similar cases before and found this issue quite common—simple cleaning and lubrication can often fix it, but severe cases may require replacing parts. For prevention, I recommend regularly wiping the sun visor's pivot points and avoiding excessive force when pulling it down. These small measures can extend its lifespan and prevent distractions while driving, ensuring safety.
