Sun visor problems

I know I am not the only shorty on here but wondered if anyone else (in the 5' ish height) is having issues with the sun and the sun visor not being deep enough to block the sun?

I think part of the issue is that the visor is attached at an angle rather than being straight across at the top of the windscreen so the evening sun is not being blocked on the right hand side of the visor. If only I could make me neck longer Laughing

Anyone know of any clip on ones that will fit the existing visor? Tried the elasticated fixture one and it is very floppy, deosn't stay where you angle it and basically it is naff Sad

Any ideas folks other than to plant myself in a grow bag? Wink. And no, selling the car isn't an option either Surprised

I'm glad you didn't say booster cushion Laughing I think if I use a cushion I'll have to lower the seat to reach the peddles Laughing just need to be taller than 5 ft me thinks Smile

RE: Sun visor problems

It's already at the highest setting? Crikey, you must be touching the roof with your head as our seats go mega high!

Seat doesn't seem to go too high and still plenty of head room, well I am only 5ft! If it went any higher I might get dizzy Laughing
