| Sun visor is not padded! when it is left in the down position you bang your head on it when you enter. previous toyota rav 4 had a padded visor. this is a minor problem that could be cause serious injuries in an accident. i drove my previous rav 4 for almost 100,000 miles without ever noticing any problems. my new 2005 rav 4 is has a different solid feeling visor which you notice right away when you bang into it. thought visors were supposed to be padded for safety reasons. *nm | |||
