Dealing with sun glare

[Legion]

Make sure the inside of the screen is really clean. The inside will get dirty and cause the light to scatter making seeing through it difficult when the sun is low. Your thread reminded me mine needs a good clean.

I know your problem.

I am not short, but even with the seat in the highest position (then causes problems with pressure under the thighs), there is still a significant gap under the sun visor of my Caddy Maxi Life.

My problem is that I have almost no pigment in my retina (apart from a "freckle" on one) and so am very sensitive to bright lights. Tinted visors are of no use, as the sunlight gets through.

Most visor extensions extend the length of the visor and not the depth of it (which is needed).

My brother had a Honda CR-V that had a section that could be pulled out the bottom edge of the visor. It may have to be a case of getting one and fitting it. If you get a clip on one that is tinted, you can spray it with matt black paint before attaching it to the visor. Unfortunately they don't like the sun that much and the plastic becomes brittle too soon.

Steering wheel pushed all the way forward?

My wife is 162cm - she wears really good sunnies. They cost about 10x more than the ones I buy.

Just bulldog clip some carboard to the visor. That will look classy

Bulldog clips!
i don't want too much 'bling' hahaha.

You do need to be careful where and how you use them as the sun visor is part of an ADR, and you do not want metal clips coming loose in an accident.

Prevention of accidents is the priority and driving into the sun virtually blind is a good way to have one.
The shallow sun visor is a major safety hazard that needs to be addressed and a temporary fix is better than the alternative. The ideal solution would be for Skoda to supply modified visors that are ADR compliant.

I thought the white visor extension I posted was a reasonable fix.

Is part 1A what you are after? I can't quite understand how it works.

I had a Sun Zapper, but it made little difference for me. I had to spray paint it matt black and that worked. Unfortunately, the plastic is not very UV stable and it was only a year or so before the clip became brittle and the unit fell off the visor.

I'm thinking of simply cardboard and 2 'lacka' bands.
I'd love to get hold of the E-Prance 2 but Oz is too far for some reason as far as eBay n Amazon are concerned.
The standard issue are simply dangerously small and incapable of doing this simple job for average size people IMO.
If you swing them side-on they're too short also.
You've go the glass area of a Disco with the visor from a Polo.......not good enough!

What do you call "average size"? I'm 167cm (5'6") and fall well under the median height for Australia.
