Abstract
A visor system is mounted to a vehicle such that it pivots from a pocket in a vehicle headliner adjacent the windshield downwardly away from the windshield from a stored position to a use position. The system includes a primary visor which remains in the front windshield position and an auxiliary visor panel pivotally mounted to the vehicle for pivoting downwardly and then upwardly to a side window position without encroaching in a user's space. The primary visor includes a pivoted extendable glare shield which can be deployed from an edge of the primary visor to increase sun blocking or filtering.
