Sun visors too small?
 
I don't know if anyone else thinks so, but I've found that they don't cover the entire area. There is also no tinted strip on the top of the windshield. Not a big deal (I usually wear shades anyway), just an observation.

I agree. I've even forgotten my shades a few times and found myself pulling and holding the visor down just so I can see. I'm going to look into replacements.

Anyone have a suggestion?

Why not buy a windshield visor sticker. You can get one very cheap and stick it on the outside of your windshield. Blocks sun and looks cool. Check out www.decalkits.com and you can even customize your own. Good luck. Peace.

Yeah I agree too that they suck, especially the way they fit (or don't fit) around the mirror. The sun seems to stab trough and get you right in the eyes.

The visors are about the only complaint I have with this car!! They are not long enough to block out the afternoon sun on my drive home and it sucks!!

Oh well...

How short are you guys?

I'm 6'2". I've never had a problem with the visors. If the sun falls between the two visors, I just reposition myself so that the rear view mirror blocks the sun. No problems for me.

I'm 6'2" also, and that's part of the problem for me at least. On my way home from work the sun is on the driver's side of the car and it's just past the sunvisor. I have even moved my seatback up, but to no avail!!
