Sun Visor - in reverse?

[TaxPhan]

So, the typical sun visor folds down to block sun from entering the top of the windshield into your eyes. But is there such thing as a visor that extends upwards, to maybe just an inch or two above the top of the Jeep (for when the soft top is down/back)? When the sun is beaming into the open cabin, but just above my sunglasses, it can be blinding! I am not talking about an entire sun shade above me, just something small that protrudes enough to block that sun angling in.

Terraflex has an acrylic visor - what you are looking for - designed for the JK/JKU. They only have a side visor listed for JL/JLU.

Never liked the idea of a sunshade, but now that I have one I love it, does exactly what you want...and more.

I think it's called a hat

Lol, that doesn't work though when the doors are off and you're on the highway. I have to turn my hat backwards to avoid losing it.

I have a JTops shade, but I don't always like the full coverage. I'll probably just end up buying a clip-on visor or something to extend it out a bit. I'm worried about the wind taking it right off on the highway though.

Get a cap tether - available at most boating supply stores or Amazon.

It’s called a Bestop retractable sunshade that has been undergoing development in their secret government labs for eons and still not coming to market yet.

Ha ha, yeah they dropped a teaser a few months ago, but alas still no retractable sunshade for the Sunrider. Maybe some day.

You need a better hat. I suggest a tilley hat. You can find them at cabellas/bass pro, or most any out doors stores, or online. https://www.tilley.com/us_en/. With the windshield in place mine stays put at 80 mph. not sure it'd stay there with the windshield down at those speeds but... maybe? they have a chin strap as well if you're worried it might fly off, I never use it though.

Can't see myself wearing one of these hats! Nope. I'm usually in a t-shirt with gym shorts, so I'm not sure I could pull that look off.

Definitely had my eyes on the retractable shade. But I feel now it was just false hope.

I thought I saw a photo or video somewhere of somebody “rolling up” the front part of the JTops shade and the magnets hold it in place on the roll bar. Maybe I’m misremembering....

Yes, false hope on the retractable shade from bestop. I'm right there with you on that one.
As for the J-tops. From what I remember while I was looking at them, the part that attaches via magnets, and flips back isn't very big. Maybe 6" or so. It's not a fully open option, it's just a way to allow you to latch/unlatch the panels or sunrider.
