They should have saved the money on engineering the sun visors. They are the most useless POS on the car next to the cup holder. Would it have killed them and made the car unaffordable to add just an inch?

I love mine.

It now holds my 4" back-up video monitor c/w GPS. And I can still use it to shield the sun.

They are too small... plus I am on 5'3" so it doesn't block anything for me. useless!!

angie7 · 05-03-2011, 09:54 AM

I agree. I put a tint strip on the windshield to help with the sun b/c the visors are completely useless. I also bought some vinyl camaro decals to fit over the warning labels. They are suppose to go on so that when they are in use, the people outside the car can read them...well I figured whats the point b/c they are useless so I put the decals on to where I can read them, lol!

I'm 6'1 so I almost never get any glare from the sun regardless since the roof is so low. But every time I've used the visor its worked fine for me.

What people don't understand is that due to the low roof, it's like driving a normal car with a visor deployed all the time. It's a good thing. The sun that still gets in your eyes, is too low for a normal car/normal visor to block anyways.

I have never put the visor down in mine once because the roof is so low. Get some sunglasses.

Sunglasses? Geez why didn't I think of that?

scottyvegas · 05-03-2011, 11:11 AM

They are pretty tiny.

Interesting arrangement. Got pictures of that? Driver's perspective, looking at it from the passenger's side, etc.?

Granted when I'm heading east in the early morning with nothing high you are correct. But when I'm headed west at 4:30 pm and with the Rockie mountains in my view I should be able to put the visor down to block the sun. But hey I just found out about sunglasses so everything should be fine now!

The visors in my car are the only thing about my car I don't like.
They are useless unless you're tall, even with sunglasses.
