Sunvisors

[DB22]

My sunvisor does not have a pull out extension, the whole visor slides on its mounting pole so that when you turn it 90 to the side you can slide the whole visor so that you ears don't get burnt.
BTW - in the US we get visors with a dumb no-removable sticker on them telling us that the car has an airbag. It's the price we pay for having colleges churn out lawyers who have no useful alternative at making a living.

Thanks to the lawyers wanting to cover themselves in this increasingly litigious world, we all get those terrible stickers nowadays.

I have owned visors that slide, visors that have a pull-out extension and cars with dual visors (front and side).
If you wanted to make a car that is better than the competition then wouldn't you provide all 3 options? It's not rocket-science and it's all been done before but nobody makes the best solution and the technology hasn't changed for over 60 years.

They ARE removable, it just takes an effort, so google if you really want to (and of course it's actually your car!), not that we in the UK have much use for them often!

Personally I'd forgive a lot if could to pay 80 cents a litre Americans currently enjoy, and not the $1.90 we pay in the UK.

Also, having lived stateside a few years back, most (under 40's) were amazed at how little I paid in car insurance, for example my profile picture car was then circa $400 USD per annum including business use, everyone I spoke to (all of whom had smaller engines than my V8) were paying at least 3 x that.

When the US gets a dumb idea the UK adopts it and when the UK gets a dumb idea then the US adopts it. There is an attorney sitting on a beach in Hawaii laughing his a$$ of at us poor mortals.

Question on sunvisors: seems like the passenger light above the sunvisor is always on when the visor is down. I thought it was only supposed to light when the mirror is open. Is there a switch I don't know about?

When I saw this, I thought: Oh, good, but it didn't look removable.

Looked last night. the warning is printed directly onto the surface of the sunvisor. Unless it can be scrubbed off? There is nothing to peel off.

Should only come on when the mirror is opened. It's all automatic so no switches.

I don't think that I have ever used the passenger side mirror light but a clever thing on the drivers side is that when you rotate 90 to the side window, the mirror light is disabled, I would assume that the passenger visor light does the same.

Figured it out.

Passenger side lights up when you pull down the visor, whether or not the mirror is open. The light goes off when you push it forward past 90 degrees - i.e., it's designed to light up when it's facing you, but push it forward as a sun visor and the light goes off.

Driver's side is the same, but the light only comes on if the mirror is open.
