Sun Visor extension?

Does anyone know of a aftermarket sun visor that extends to the width of the front window?

I'm tall so my seat is pretty much all the way back rendering the visor pretty much useless at blocking the sun when it is coming in the side of the car. I can stretch and hide behind the b pillar but a visor that extends would be great if it exists.


Thanks.

The only real option beyond a proper pair of high quality sunglasses, would be to have a tinted windshield banner (inside). I have a quote of $40 from a local tint shop and will be getting it done along with the full side and rear window tint. The shop can take the banner down to whatever area is giving you grief on the windshield. Looks normal as well.

Otherwise the following:

Interior Sun Visor Extension from The Car Boutique Auto Accessories Store

Anti Glare Car Sun Visor Extension

From the world of flight and perhaps a better option:

Visors, Aircraft at Sporty's Pilot Shop

Best of the flight school of thought option:

Sun Zapper Glare Shield - Sporty's Pilot Shop

Just found this: Extend-A-Visorâ„¢

I have problems too at 5'11". But the visors don't cover the side windows adequately when you move them over either.
