OEM Sun Visors?
Hi All,
After an excruciating nine month wait for a custom order - I wanted vented seats - I happily took delivery of my 2022 GLB250 two weeks ago. After reading the many posts here about missing power this and that due to the chip shortages, I was amazed that my vehicle actually arrived with absolutely every detail as ordered. But that's not why I'm writing.
I'm asking about the sun visors that DO NOT EXTEND???! Seriously??? I realize this is supposed to be an entry level model, but how much more can it cost to add that small, little feature - a 'safety' feature IMHO. Everything else about the car is so great, it kills me to 'junk it up' with aftermarket attachments. My dealer tells me there is no OEM option.
Any suggestions? What is everyone else doing?
My thanks in advance!

Unfortunately there are no good options out there. Amazon has some generic Sun Visor Extenders, however it all looks cheap. So just learned to live with it. Have a good pair of sunglasses. Oh wait, there is no sunglasses holder compartment. 
GLB is full of these little things, but we love it anyway.

I saw a folding visor extension in an UBER I rode in a while back. It looked cheap even in an entry level Kia SUV, but it worked. My grandson has the same problem in a U.S. pickup truck. His solution was to have the top 5-6 inches of the windshield tinted down to 40% transmittance. It’s barely noticeable from outside the truck. Maybe another possible solution?
