Was driving to work and the sun is now at the point where it comes in the side window. So I move the shade over and it was just short, so the sun was still hitting my eye. I went to move it and realized that I could slide it back to the perfect spot to block the sun. Never saw anyone mention this feature before and it is great.

Hmm, never noticed that either, six months into ownership.

The JK had it. The guys at thestraightpipes call it the 'visor test'.

Actually a common feature on many vehicles. Several years ago I had a vehicle that actually had two visors at each position for front seat. Both mounted in the common position. Both could fold down but one for each side could fold open to the window on the door. So you could have all four in use. One used on the drivers door. One used on windshield for driver. One for windshield for passenger and one for passenger door window. Fantastic feature. I am not positive but I believe it was on my Ford Taurus. Used it all the time. Did a lot of driving during dawn and dusk. So it was perfect.

I wish more vehicles had this 4 shade condition.

I don't think he means that you can detach it and position it against the side window. I believe he is talking about how the visor can be on the side window and then you can actually pull it to move it along a rod so it will move further towards the cargo area.

(I may be totally misunderstanding both of you though because cold meds.)

They should print out information like this and have it available. Maybe put a copy in the glove box or have it available upon request. Maybe call it an “owners manual “, or something along those lines.

Yeah I love this feature, I saw my wife using it once and I was like wth why did you never tell me!?!?.

I use my Jeep as a weekend toy, I actually commute in a Corolla and I wish I had that.

Gah! I didn't know about this, and it solves my biggest gripe with the "way too low" rearview mirror. You can pull both visors together behind the mirror to cover the gap that the sun loves to peek through! woot woot.

This reads like the start of a 90s detective novel.


How abouts I just get it out of the way now...

I had that feature in a couple other vehicles, and it was one of the first things I checked on the way the home from the dealer.
