Sliding Sun Visors (extendable)
 
I don't know if anyone else has this issue, but I need different sun visors.. I'm tall, I sit back pretty far in my car, whether leaned back in a comfortable position or sitting upright the sun visors in this car do nothing for me when the sun is beside or just slightly behind my head, I'm constantly blinded. Its actually kind of dangerous at times, like I can't even look at my mirror without taking a hand off the wheel to block it, it's insanely inconvenient.
What I want are extendable visors, like flip it out and have the ability to slide it back when the sun is shining at the side of your face, every other car I've owned had these, and 90% of the ones I've driven had them too,
Does anyone know if someone is making these?
How much they cost?
Or if this kind of visor from another car would simply bolt in perfectly to fit the frs?

Thanks in advance for anything usefull, if there's nothing I'll try retrofit some from another car that look about the same.

Wouldn't see why other visors wouldn't fit. Looks like just 3 screws holding them on.

I'd look around toyota and subaru cars to see if it's compatible.

Agreed. Can't believe this wasn't a design feature from the factory.

My 93 Bonneville actually has a dual visor that when you swing the regular visor to the side, there is another visor on a second rod that flips down in front windshield.

Right! I don't know that car personally but our company Nissan Titans have those as well, and they're awesome,
I'll look around and update if I find anything, but I'm not experienced with Toyota's so idn where to start looking lol

i miss that feature too :(

The only Toyota that I know has it for sure was my old 06 4Runner... but those things are giant, doubt it would fit in our cars.

My friend has a mk6 GTI and the visors actually extend from the rod that is attached to the visor itself. so maybe, someone can just make a longer rod that we can swap out onto our stock ones. If someone makes this, please give me 10% of all sales. Thank you.

Yeah I came from an mk6 golf to this, that's what I miss most about the other car lol I HATE being sun blinded.

Has anybody found a work around for this? I'm about to tape together some paper and just slide it around, if it fits decently enough

the 370Z has some that extend therefore that's why it's the better car
