I don't mind the visors. I just wear my glasses if I need them.

our car has sun visors ??

i thought it was a wind-deflector for when the top was down..

i just drive with my maui jims, too.

seriously tho, did anyone check to see if the area of visibility is similar to other cars ? i.e. the space between the bottom of the visor (when down) to the edge of the dash.

The thing that bugs me is the coverage on the driver's side. My meandering commute has the sun pestering me regularly. OK - I'm neurotic - I accept it.

Among my cars, the Suburban has the best set-up, with a big visor (I know that's not practical in a 911), but what's cool is that is has an extender that comes out the side, so that there's a huge amount of coverage. The Passat has a similar scheme, where the visor moves along the top rail. While the visor is on your side window, the visor itself extends rear-ward to provide the coverage near my head.

In the 911, the visor goes to the side, but since I have the seat adjusted rear-ward, the visor does not block any sun coming in from the driver's side.

That's why I bought the wrap sunglasses, but I'm thinking about something like this or this.

I found the one I bought initially here, and - like I said earlier - it's terrible. Looking at it again - it might help those who aren't happy about the front coverage (vertically). It didn't help me on the side, though.

Hope any of that is helpful to others, and - if I ever find one of these things that works well - I'll certainly let fellow 6-speeders know.
