Default Sun Visor Wrinkling

The high heat (> 100 º 7 out of last 8 days) seems to create some substantial wrinkling issues with both sun visors. anyone else seen this?
they go back to looking normal sometime in the evening but just wondering how long that elasticity will last.

Mine stays wrinkled. It looks like the glue was either missed or no longer sticking. I don't know what happened.

Mine has done this on the driver side. A new one has been ordered to replace it. It's as if the visor is shrink wrapped and not glued. I thought at first that the visor was a molded plastic piece but, it's not.

Yep, mine is doing it on the bottom side. I thought they were solid plastic at first. But when I checked just now, I learned otherwise.

Yep sounds exactly like mine. Only the drivers side is messed up and I also thought it was molded plastic until i saw the ripple.

Sure enough, took a look at mine and they are also wrinkled. Not bad but wrinkled nontheless. I also thought they were solid. My thoughts are to leave as is since it isn't too bad. We've got 3 years bumper to bumper and if it continues or gets worse, then take it in. By then, they may have a fix rather than replacing with the same visor to have it happen all over again.
