Abstract
A sun visor (10) for a motor vehicle comprises an opaque visor member (12) with internal guide tracks (24) for receiving a support rail (22) of a transparent, glare reducing panel (20). The glare reducing panel is movable between a retracted position within the visor member and an extended position in which it creates a non-glare visual region below the opaque visor member. An additional, smaller panel (38) may overlie a portion of panel (20) and be adjustable in position, to create an enhanced glare reduction portion which may be aligned with the direction of the sun.

- a) an opaque visor member which obscures a first visual region corresponding to the upper part of the windscreen;
- b) a first substantially transparent glare reducing panel having a length and extendible from said visor member to create a second visual region below the first visual region, said second visual region having a first glare reduction relative to the windscreen;
- and
- c) a second substantially transparent glare reducing panel adjustably movable substantially along and over said length of said first glare reducing panel so that the first and second glare reducing panels co-operate to form a subregion of the second visual region, said subregion having an increased glare reduction relative to the first glare reduction.
