Sunvisors are useless

[centra28]

A brow is a good idea if you want to avoid using the sun visor.

I've not had the problem from the side yet. It seems mine slides out quite a bit to cover where I need it, so far.

And I bet yours is a 4-door. The 2-door has more glass area and a longer door.

The sunvisors on the Bronco are basically useless.

Does anyone else feel this way? I am 6ft. If I flip down the visor to block the sun, I have basically blocked my entire view of the road.

Anyone have a mod to fix this? I'm basically thinking of just getting an eyebrow to help out.

Eyebrow and Maui Jim's.

I completely agree. I'm 5'11" and have the seat as low as possible. Completely useless!! You can point it towards you like someone stated, but that is awkward. I considered removing them, but it holds my sun shield and my wife drives it occasionally.

Sunglasses are a must.

No, it’s a 2 door. I’m aware it doesn’t cover the last couple of inches, but that’s far enough back in my peripheral vision to not be a problem so far for me. Maybe you sit farther back or have better peripheral vision. Seating position may play a part too. I tend to steer with the left and rest the right on the center console which may slightly rotate me away from that area.

@Mabett working on a replacement visor? bonus if you throw in battery powered led vanity light for us base folks

They are a bit too big but they will stay in place if you don't flip them down all the way.

I don't know about your Bronco, but my Base model has seats that go up and down. In the lowest position, I have no issues with the sun visor and I'm 6' 1".

But I'm annoyed that when the sun is coming in from the side I can't move the visor far enough to block that out. I can do it on my Escape.

@kodiakisland, I'm surprised you don't have the same problem @Scott R Nelson has. I drive south during my morning commute and, obviously, north on the way home. The sunlight coming through the side is a constant problem. I end up having the sun visor angled away from the side window and almost touching my head, which helps a little. Very annoying to say the least.

Mine is a 4-door. Putting the visor pointing to me is so awkward, like it really doesn't want to stay there. I just don't mess with them.
