Have noticed repeatablly, that when you drive into that blinding sun on the odd occasion, that the sun visor needs to give you just that little bit more protection, Noticed it today with the LC100 series, and other vehicles at times'.
Anyone else notice this?
Cheers Axle.

Gidday Axle
I posted a similar thread on this a long time ago and received a bashing.
What I was looking for was one of those old window stickers that adorn the top of the windscreen. This was around about the time that some manufactures where incorporating block out dots built into the glass.
However I was never successful in finding anyone who could provide an aftermarket film.
And yes I agree with you, it’s a pain in the rectum in certain conditions. LOL
Regards
Kim

Yeah i agree, the only thing i could find was either a full length sticker on the outside, or some of that DIY window tint film you can get from Super Cheap/Ebay/Auto shops. I probably prefer the sticker though.
But after spending good money on a sticker once and having my window smashed i am a little hesitant now. Just got windscreen on my current ride fixed today actually. Mongrel Truckie and his loose trailers.

Yes I find them a little short at times,
What I find annoying is when the sun shines directly through
the gap in the center where the rear vision mirror is.
Used to get me on the way
home from work (seasonal) as the road / sun seemed to be at just the wrong angle.
I ended up cutting a piece of cardboard to fit in
the gap.

Unclip the inner end and pull it towards you will stop that.

Hi Axle,
I have the opposite problem.
As far as I'm concerned they are far to close to the dashboard!
Seriously, in the Troopy if I lower
mine I'm lucky to see 30 metre's past the bonnet!
My partner's Honda Civic is worse! I'd reckon in hers I'm lucky to see 15 or 20 metre's!

I wonder if Expore Oz could make their windscreen
sign in an opaque version, with different colour lettering for the
sign?
I would want to be very, very sure that anything that said I could look directly at the sun really had adequate filtering. I'd rather trust good sunglasses, and even then you dont look directly at the sun for too long unless you have super filtered ones that are probably too dark for driving.
But you could easily make a clip on extension for the visor so it covered lower and/or
the gap.
