Sun visors - bloody useless!

Darn short-arsed sun visors. Absolutely useless. :roll:

Anyone recommend good aftermarket extensions?

I assume you mean width wise? Height wise they're taller than normal...

Yes. I blame that stupid sunglasses bin - without it, the sun visors might have been wide enough to actually do something useful! :lol:

Ones on my truck have slider in the visor that comes out.

i like mine. being this far north the thinner ones on my Prius dont work in the afternoon. granted i do have a bit of an issue with the length not being long enough to catch the sun on the side view, but not bad.

the ones in my RX8 are perforated full of holes
not very useful

What about your Miata? (guessing from your name) The visors in my 2000 Miata were so small I just pulled them out entirely.

yes the driver side Miata Visor has been gone for years
it just gets in the way of seeing traffic lights

Are you talking about adding something like this?

Yes, something like that would work fine. Of course, if Nissan had thought to build them into the visor to begin with...... :?

Speaking of the sunglass tray, it's way huge. My glasses get lost in there. Maybe I need to get some of those gigantic pimp-daddy glasses.

I find the visors super annoying. They are barely 50% of the width of the window. I wonder if those extensions from amazon would even come close to being long enough...

I tinted my front window and put a dark strip accoss the top of the windshield that will solve the problem. Or maybe you could sit on some books to make you taller?

The issue is width/length when they are pulled over to the driver and passenger front side windows.

Tinting the windshield just simply sounds scary to me regardless of whether or not it is legal. At night I want all the light I can get and a minimum of reflections..

Exactly! I mentioned the same to Skip? at our meetup on Saturday. So simple, yet overlooked.

I wonder if you could adapt a set of visors from another car that do have the slideouts? :idea:

gotta love forums. exactly what i was looking for. Thanks!

Ok - So only having my car only 5 days now. This is one of my biggest gripes. They are completely useless for the side windows. The link to the visor extensions a few posts above is now to an out-of-stock item.

Any one know of similar model visor (that has extensions). Looking at it I think I can unscrew the ones in the leaf and replace them with some other model if i can find one that fits.

Anyone have a solution for this problem yet?
