Another Jeep thing, sun visor position?

[plex]

Do you guys actually use sun visors on Wrangler at all, because that thing will basically block half of the windshield and render my sights of road useless?

So I was trying to extend the sun visor as close to the windshield as possible, but a piece of trim (red circle in the picture) block the sun visor to go any further. So at best I can get the sun visor 15 degrees past perpendicular position, and with the super short windshield we have, it is pretty much like I said, useless.

Is there any mod addressing this issue?

I use the visor mirror to check to see if I have anything in my eye, in my nose, etc.

Try extending the visor on the arm/rod toward the rear view mirror.

Rarely do I use the visor. I have a tinted strip in the top of my windshields.

If yr complaining about a sun visor you better off getting a minivan or station wagon.

I have the solution. Apparently I'm not normal, but it's how I've always used my visors (in any vehicle). The trick is to only slightly lower the visor instead of folding it all the way down, or pushing it against the windshield. To explain it lets say 0° is up with the edge facing you and 90° straight down with the edge facing the floor. Instead of going past 90 to as far as it will go against the windshield, I'll only partially lower the visor so it's something like 30°. Anything beyond that just blocks your view. Assuming 30° blocks the sun, you'd have to rotate the visor roughly to 150° to have the same shade without blocking your view. The windshield won't let you go that far so you're stuck with it at 100° or something like that. So instead I just stop as soon as the sun is blocked without ever actually lowering it the whole way down.

PS, I mention "roughly" 150° because pushing the visor forward toward the light source will slightly change the angle needed to shade your eyes. I've attached a cheesy image to help explain.

This is how I’ve always used mine too.

Sweet!!! We're the normal ones, and everyone else is using them wrong. Ha ha. That's my story and I"m sticking to it.

I didn’t know they came down, I only use it to open my garage door

 

[Zazoh]

I use them and can see through the window fine. I’m 6ft.

I usually focus on the road ahead of me or side to side at intersections, pleanty of window left for that.

Uh, is this not known? Is it not common sense? I mean, you wet your toothbrush after putting a dollop of toothpaste on it right? Why wouldn't you do this?

I wet mine before and after toothpaste is applied, just me.....better lubed.

Where are you sticking that thing?

I like the artwork. You look happy

Lol. And I’m annoyed that when you swing it around and extend it there is a small gap between the visor and b pillar that (due to Murphy’s law) always seem to be the spot I want shaded. If your going to make it extendable then do it right.
