Sucktastic 2022 Sun Visor
I do love my 2022 convertible, but that sun visor has got to go.
I was looking for replacement possibilities and noticed that 2021 LT1 sun visors are fundamentally different, and can be rotated to cover the side as well as in front like a real visor. Is this a convertible issue or do all 2022's have really cheap, crappy, poorly adjustable sun visors? If it's a vert issue I guess it's to keep the wind from smacking you. |

My F1FTY vert has fixed sun visors. I agree not so useful.

Your so right about the sun visors. I found you just suffer or wear a ball cap. They just tuck so far in you can't do much with them.

I set my seat bottom about as high as it can go, and prefer the backrest to be much more upright than probably most people do. So somehow I actually manage to reap some straight-ahead sun-blocking ability from the visor, because my eyes end up being about in-line with it, vertically.
But I too was surprised, and disappointed, that they do not rotate outwards. And even if they could, they're so short (in height) that I wonder if they'd block much of the sun coming from the side. :-/

With window tint there's no need to swing the sunvisor in any vehicle. As far as forward, if needed, I'll have a "tint brow" installed. You can see the one I had on my Jeep.

Why have tint installed if it’s not something a person wants, needs or expects to install? I’ve had two verts and I agree… the visor sucks Big Time. The vert, for all its glory, was taken out to the woodshed on a lot of standard items. Then you’re charged an above standard premium for the drop top. A decent (Normal) visor, isn’t too much to ask….honestly, I just think it’s expected.

I guess now I MUST know: do any other mfr's. convertibles allow the visor to swing out, and/or offer another, better solution?
Minor aside #1: I had a 1989 Ford Taurus SHO whose visor had a second visor on the same mount, and which could be swung outwards, even while keeping the main one pointed towards the windshield. That car actually had a few other things that were reasonably "ahead" of their time.) Minor aside #2 and not to hijack: Chutzpah, what types of things have you felt were lacking in the convertible? Not disagreeing, but for the most part it seems like the well-known quibbles on display in my 2SS are the same complaints as with the coupe. Hopefully there's not something that I didn't know I was missing, and should be angry about! ;-)
