My dear wife is a little on the petite side.

Even with the seat at maximum height, the late sun is still in her eyes.

Has anyone seen a visor extender that looks nice?

Have you considered having a portion of the windshield tinted I just did this on my 2025 Subaru Forester and plan to do it on my 2025 Maverick Lariat AWD HybrI’d it made an amazing difference

There is a DOT mark on your windshield called the AS1 line. In many States, a brow (tint) may not extend past the AS1 line. It will get you a warning the first time here in Ok, but a fine the second time. The good news is that the jail time is less than a non-functional tag light. 😆

Jonshep,
You must be from Altus. I went to SWOSU in Weatherford where the law overlooked most all problems with poor student’s crappy vehicles. Our buddies who transferred from the JuCo down there told us horror stories about LEO’s in Altus.

That’s good information about the AS1 line. Most people don’t know that.

I spent 6 months at Altus AFB for Flight Engineer school. I enjoyed it there. Very friendly people, lot of fun at the bars.

The tint is an excellent idea, thank you

I have the tint strip at the top of my windshield. It will not really help a petite person, who's looking for a 'nice looking' visor extender.
The picture below is one of the nicest looking visor extenders I've seen $22.52 on Amazon. What I like about it versus the flip down tinted ones is that you can adjust how low you wanted to go.
Good luck,

Another good solution Glenn my only concern would be this will possibly greatly reduce the view of the driver but I have no experience with it

Sun visors are solid and reduce visibility also.
I'm just over 6 ft tall the sun visor pulled all the way down totally blocks my vision so, using common sense. I don't pull it all the way down and block my vision.
I would hope the person using it is intelligent enough or have enough common sense to just pull it down far enough to block the Sun.
Just yesterday we were in town for Mother's Day and when we were driving back home. We were driving into the setting sun. I had to use my sun visors. Which when down will block the sun and block the traffic signals when stopped. I just looked underneath the sun visor to watch the traffic lights. I don't worry about hitting cars up that high.

There isn't much a visor or any extensions are going to do when the sun is at this position. Maybe a good pair of sunglasses or pull over and wait for the sun to drop/raise a little further.

Not Altus, I am the retired CM over in Walters and the Police worked for me....but not the county deputies, nor the HyPo's. My son was always getting stopped for tint, light out, trailer lights, etc.
