Abstract
A foldable visor assembly shields sunlight from a driver and/or passenger's eyes by providing a folding line to adjust a height of the assembly. The assembly includes a flexible panel having a front side, a back side, a top edge, a bottom edge, a first lateral edge, and a second lateral edge. The panel is semitransparent wherein the panel is configured to shield sunlight from passing through the panel. A folding line extends into the panel between the first and second lateral edges. The folding line is pivotable between an extended position and a folded position wherein a height of the panel is selectively adjustable. The folding line is spaced from the top and bottom edges. A plurality of couplers is coupled to the back side of the panel. The couplers are configured for coupling the panel to a windshield of an automotive vehicle.
