almost worth it: my feedback

it functions, basically, as described. when the slides are extended the sun is blocked therefore it functions. my complaint is more of a personal opinion about overall quality verses cost. this is simply 2 thin pieces of plastic slides sandwiched between to slightly thicker pieces of plastic. when the slides are extended they are flimsy and do bounce around. reality is this is something that will not be used a great deal since its only needed at certain times of day and direction you travel…

Pros
  • It was not easy to install it properly. Once you get the hang of it, it works well.
Cons
  • The whole thing is cheap. The plastic slide out pieces are really flimsy.

good but not great for my opinion

The velcro straps are not long enough so I had to buy velcro to extend it so it would fit. It is relatively easy to install but it doesn't staying place like I want it too. It slides down no matter how tight I do the velcro. The visor itself is sturdy but it doesn't stay in place. It does go up and down relatively easy but arches sometimes. It is better than the flip down style.

Pros
  • The one big problem is the side shade that pulls out may block your review mirror!!!
Cons
  • Does the job

Does exactly what I was looking for.

Installation would have been simpler without instructions - so random and confusing. After that, there's only one thing that matters - can one extend the vertical and horizontal extending flaps as needed while in motion. Simple answer is No. I need two hands to adjust them so I wait for a red light, etc to adjust. But, the unit does exactly what I need - helping out a short lady driving in a land of East/West roads.

Pros
  • To extend the passenger side visor.
Cons
  • A bit clunky but the best model of what i wanted.

It's OK but not Solution I'd Hoped

My eyes are extremely sensitive to the sun, even with sunglasses, so l was looking for an easy solution for when I come around the corner and am blinded by the sun. This sounded perfect. Installation was a bit of a challenge as the Velcro straps kept sticking to the "ceiling" of the car, but I got through that. It's pretty sturdy but my disappointment is that it takes 2 hands to pull the side slide, which makes it impossible to do while driving.

Pros
  • Easy Setup: Complete with non-slip, elastic straps, our sun visor extender for cars allows for quick, easy, and secure mounting. No tools necessary.
Cons
  • The visor may warp or become misshapen over time, affecting its effectiveness

Sight Saver good for me

I am old & my eyes are not what they used to be. I have tried many visors to cut the sun & glare I have to deal with in the winter when the sun is lower in the sky, but none come close to the effectiveness of this one. It has extra depth & width that can be extended to block the sun from many more angles. Going out in the early morning or returning home in the evening when the sun is the lowest would subject my eyes to impossible glare. This visor blocks everything. Swing it to the side, & it…

Pros
  • Provides a neat and clean appearance to your car interior
Cons
  • It may not fit securely, leading to a risk of the visor falling off while driving

Car Visor Extender - my new review

I purchased this visor extender for my 2015 Audi which has a standard size visor that does not block the bright Cali sun. Quickly installed over your current visor. After driving 7 hours to Socal, this visor extender was easy to use and helped fight the bright sun during this long ride. This is a great accessory for your car to make driving safer!

Pros
  • Lightweight and easy to carry
Cons
  • It may be too bulky to leave in cars parked in garages or narrow spaces

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A bit difficult to put back but overall good

When I first got this it came bent as it was stuffed in a box that was clearly too small for it- obviously Revains fault and not the seller- but i ordered a replacement which came in fine. The one thing I would note would be to make sure to put the strap through the little elastic loop so that it sits flush with your visor- it was a little confusing to install and it seems kinda difficult to quickly slide back into place after use, especially when driving but overall it seems to work in doing…

Pros
  • Fits snugly onto existing car visors
Cons
  • It may be too difficult to remove and store when getting in and out of the car frequently

Meh, You get what you pay for

This is your usual novel idea, however, the quality is Meh. If I had a car for this to install, it would be easy, therefore I gave it 5 stars, however, I wish they made it for truck/large visors. The straps do not reach around on my Element visor. Had to make modifications. To pull out the side or bottom shields can catch each other inside the device. I would install a simple thin piece of plastic between the two shields for easy sliding in and out. Unfortunately, I would not recommend…

Pros
  • Reduces eye fatigue while driving
Cons
  • It may interfere with the functionality of the car’s built-in sun visor

Better than nothing

My eyes seem overly sensitive to bright sunlight. Since it seems cars are made with large male drivers in mind, my shorty self doesn't get much benefit from the very basic sun visors that came with my car. This visor extension is very underwhelming, but about 30% of the time it will block some extra bits of sunlight that are trying to blind me. The extensions do not extend smoothly, but it's not too much of a hassle, really.

Pros
  • Reduces heat buildup inside the car
Cons
  • It may not be durable enough to withstand exposure to harsh weather conditions

Very good for sun glare

We purchased this visor extender for the passenger side, and the one that has a polarized extender by the same manufacturer for the driver's side. They were both very easy to install and they look good. They are the best visor extenders that we've found, sturdy and most of all, they work. For those reviewers who state that they cover the visor mirror, these extenders can be installed on either side of the visor, so if you have a mirror, the side with the straps can be on that side so the mirror

Pros
  • Universal: Built for convenience, our car visor extender is universal in size and compatible with any car or SUV with a visor whose width is greater than 4.7 inches.
Cons
  • The product may be too expensive for some customers

Difficult to install

Takes 2 hands to pull visor out ,not smooth, velcro ties don't match or make sense. Had to buy a different ties in oder to make it work

Pros
  • i like it but it is made cheaply and it looks like it is starting to fall apart
Cons
  • Not well made, but it was worth trying it because of it's cost. Not sure how long it will last though

It does the job but….

This product does the job , but is flimsy in the actual pull down portion. Had a bit of difficulty getting it attached tightly to my existing visor. I have doubts to it’s durability for lasting. It however does block the sun once pulled down in place

Pros
  • Can be used while using your phone or GPS
Cons
  • The product may not block all UV rays, leading to potential skin damage

Sun Visor Sunshade Extender for car

This is the best one available. Easy to install. Pull it down to shade the sun and you won't need to go find your sunglasses. It is so great to not have to try to sit up to get away from the glare of the sun in your car window.

Pros
  • Protects eyes from harmful UV rays
Cons
  • It may be difficult to see through the visor at certain angles, decreasing visibility

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Overall works, but cheaply made.

Cheaply made and moves around if you try to slide the side tab, seems like it’s not a good fit. No very safe while driving. Thanks for attention.

Pros
  • Fit in my 2012 Altima very nice. Great for on the side!
Cons
  • Because of the way you have to attach it to the visor, it is not very wide.

Helps, a little for my opinion

Since I am so short, this shade does help keep direct sun out of my eyes. But it also blacks out too much of the view. A shade that protects you from glare, but you can see through would be better.

Pros
  • Anti-Glare: Whether you're a driver or a passenger, our sun visors for cars eliminate sun glare and help protect your vision against UVA and UVB light rays.
Cons
  • The product may obscure the view of the side mirrors, leading to potential hazards

Not what I thought it would be

This photo on the ad made me think you could see through the visor. Nope, it is black plastic. The velcro was barely big enough to close on visor also. Wish they would change that picture in the ad it is misleading.

Pros
  • My wife loves this she is short and the sun was always in her eyes. Now she drives with ease
Cons
  • It may not be effective against strong, direct sunlight

Great for the vertically challenged

I less than 5' tall, and constantly struggled with the sun in my eyes despite tinted windows and sunglasses. This product does the job. It extends enough so that the sun is never in my eyes any more whether I use it on the windshield or side window, whether I use the bottom or side extender. So far it has stood up to use. I mounted it on the non-mirror side of my driver sun visor so that I can still use the mirror. The only reason that I don't give it 5 stars, is that the bottom extender…

Pros
  • I like everything about the visor price and quality
Cons
  • The product may not be compatible with tinted windows, limiting its effectiveness

I found it very difficult to install.

As I wrote above, I found it very difficult to install. In fact, I am not sure it is installed properly; butI have been able to use it the way I wanted to.

Pros
  • A practical accessory for frequent drivers
Cons
  • The product may be ineffective against reflection from shiny surfaces on the dashboard or outside the car

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not really adjustable

I like the idea of this visor, I only wish it worked better. I am unable to adjust either of the two sliding flaps without using two hands, and even then, unless I'm very careful I end either pulling the visor off my fixed visor or accidentally repositioning it so that the vanity mirror is inoperative.When I finally do get everything adjusted, it works great. But the panels don't really slide easily into or out of the visor.

Pros
  • Works great, exactly what I needed!
Cons
  • The product may be too heavy, affecting the balance and stability of the car

Good solution for the Prius V

The sun visor in the 2013 Prius V leaves a gap between the mirror and the end of the visor. Worse yet, when the visor is positioned on the side window, it does not extend back very far. The result is unblocked sun glare, which is sometimes very annoying. Other cars I have owned have a built-in visor extender that can be slid in and out, but not the Prius V.This visor extender is a good solution. It includes a black opaque shield that is held against the sun visor with 1" wide elastic…

Pros
  • Can be adjusted to any angle for optimal sun protection
Cons
  • It may not effectively block the sun from other passengers in the car
