Windshield problems of the 2008 Honda Civic

My 2008 Honda Civic has a notorious problem: defective sun visors that drop down, covering more than half the vertical space of the windshield in front of the driver. The problem, which involves a metal bar that expands in hot weather and forces apart the two sides of the plastic visor, is prone to happen in hot weather. This is the fourth time it has happened to me. A California superior court ruling requires Honda to replace these as needed up to 100,000 miles. However, the safety issue remains unaddressed. The replacement is the same as the failed visor, and it too will fail in about 10,000 miles (or less, in severe climates). Two screws hold the visor to the roof of the car. Can't Honda be require to design a new visor without this defect (requires only making the channel for the metal bar wider) and replace the visors with an improved version on all affected Honda Civics (2006-2009)? it is not fun viewing the road ahead by peeking around and under the dropped visor. Honda Civics have a severely slanted windshield, and the vertical viewing space is limited without a failed visor.

The visor on my 2008 Honda Civic will not stay up. It looks like a defect on the left-hand hinge. The hinge is split open and makes the sun visor drop. After looking on the internet, it seems to be a manufacturer defect since a lot of other Honda owners seem to have this problem. Potentially dangerous since the visor continually falling blocks my vision through the windshield. If I swing it to the left, it blocks the view from the drivers side of the window.

The sun visor has split apart in a 08 Honda Civic, and it flops down and stays down, in front of my vision out the windshield. It won't stay up, or even pushed toward the windshield; stays down at its lowest point. Split apart where the rod goes in the visor. I have seen this complaint in many Civic forums. It is a safety problem as it interferes with seeing out the windshield.
