Where to buy different sunvisors?

The factory ones are to short to block the sun on the side. Where can I get an aftermaket one that extends/telescopes out?

I checked those out, but I just want to add an arm the telescopes out, not replace the whole unit. I had a dodge ram that had telescoping sunvisors and they sure where handy.

Try Big Lots. I did not pay close attention to them but they had something similar to what you were asking about

Question Re: Where to buy different sunvisors?

I have the same issue. My RAV4 had an extension built in that slid in or out as needed. Would really like to find a solution for my 2009 xB. Most of the fixes I've found attach to the visor and flip down, not across. I checked out the recommendation below and wasn't crazy about the item. Anyone out there find a solution yet?

I think I may have come up with an alternative to this and would like your opinions please. Since it seems there isn't a good fix for the visor being too short, what if a line of tint were put at the top of the side window? How wide do you think it should be and at what tint percentage?

Would love to hear any feedback. Thank you.

Border tint on the top of the windshield works great. Tint & width are state regs. Your RMV should be able to give you the info needed.

Actually I'm fine with the front window. It's the sides that I get really bad glare on. Is it wise to put just a strip of tint on a window that rolls up and down or will it eventually peel off?
