R350 windshield sun

Any solutions to the sun shining down through the windshield directly into the front passengers' laps? Live in Florida and in summer get lots of direct sunlight.

I don't live in sunny Florida so this has never been a problem for me, but on a couple of occasions I had to use the second sun-visor. I don't know if this is a standard item or if it was an option, but my R500 has two visors. The first is the traditional one with the mirror inside, and there is a second shorter and thinner one just above it. With the main visor out of the way you can flip that to block the very top of the windshield on both driver and passenger sides.

Thanks for the tip. I have two visors each side but they are not wide enough.
