Can I not get sunvisors that look and feel like they’re about to break when i want to swing them to the side?

Seriously... all this tech and this is the BEST WAY we can come up with? I like Tesla’s magnetic solution. I wish other car makers would use it.

When you roll up with two sun visors

I just realized my last 3 oppo posts are Doug-related.

I still think these are the coolest sun visors.

That dude is so useless. Both him and Jabar/divorce/whatever he’s called. I’ve never seen one of these break. I’ve replaced maybe a few visors. Ever. What’s wrong with reliable and proven?

Not actually trying to defend our stuff, go ahead and criticize away, but that dude is like nails on a chalkboard to me.

This has nothing to do with who reviewed the car and what video it came from. I just noted that still, in 2018, on a luxury car, we still have this stupid ass design.

You might be cool, but you’ll never be Buick Rivera double-sunvisors cool. You have a main visor, with slide out, that can do the pivot stuff.....and then you have ANOTHER visor behind it that ALSO has a slideout. Both sides had these crazy double-sunvisors. I have never seen another car with something similar and that makes me sad. Dammit I need 4 sunvisors in my 2-door coupe!

What don’t you like about it? They don’t feel as rough as that gif makes them look.

pfft, my GX470 has that. I will have to get pictures tonight since the internets don’t seem to have them.

I think part of the point is the fact that even if it were to work smoothly, there are/should be better more refined ways implement visors. They’ve been done this way for ages, it seems like a fantastic place for luxury cars to set themselves apart. One of such methods could be the magnetic solution that Takuro pointed out.

Yes they do. All cars with that style clip do. They all feel like you’re breaking something.

I’m surprised that they use the clip and not a magnet or something. It’d be super easy

I must have them!

Precisely my point. Why are we still using plastic clips? And, like someone else mentioned, why are they not power operated yet? Pretty much everything else is these days...

the rosen ones? I know they are pretty sweet. I might ask my air med buds if they can order some at cost for me.

So, I was just staring at that gif for far too long, and the dude pulls down into the clip instead of directly out of the opening. That’s just poor form. I’m not sure if I’d trust someone like that to work on cars.

Me either

 sure, I could see that. I haven’t seen or used Tesla’s. But I haven’t heard of any complaints with ours (not saying it’s best, just that I’ve never thought about them like that before). I have used MUCH worse though.

Then oppos be like “that’s over engineered and is going to cost too much when it breaks!”

Funny, it appears to be virtually the same as the setup in my fintail - plastic clip. If it aint broke something something.

My family’s ‘95 Taurus had those (well only the second plastic visor had a slideout).

I agree entirely, haven’t really seen a video from either that I enjoyed, pretty much sworn them off at this point.

Yeah I’ve watched a few of their videos. After that it took a while to make YouTube understand I don’t want to watch them.

Wish there was a “this story is offensive to me” like on facebook. I’ve been using that ruthlessly to control spammy shit.
