Don’t be Fooled by its Diminutive Size
Unlike cumbersome car sun visor extension products on the market which cover the entirety of your car’s visor, often the rear view mirror too, and require two hands to operate, the compact profile of Visor Buddy SMALL/MIDSIZE edition - now VERSION 2.0 - offers a visor extension that clips on neatly to the side or bottom of your visor and takes up minimal real estate inside your car. Don’t be fooled by its diminutive size - this is a small product that packs a big sun-blocking punch! For larger vehicles like Jeeps, big SUVs, and Trucks, the Visor Buddy LARGE vehicle edition is now available for pre-order. It will be here by March hopefully.
SMALL/MIDSIZE VEHICLE EDITION. A SMALL SOLUTION TO A BIG PROBLEM
Visor Buddy is the Smarter and Smaller Auto Visor Extender. It’s Perfect for SMALL/MIDSIZE vehicles (LARGE vehicle product is now available on pre-order. Should be here in March).
ONE-HANDED OPERATION
Enjoy smooth, one-handed slide operation whenever the conditions become too sunny - with no snagging or jammed mechanisms which require both hands to leave the wheel in order to maneuver the visor into place. Built to last, the Visor Buddy Sun Shade Extender is constructed from automotive-quality plastics (ASA) and features 6 metal screws and a durable metal clip for a universal fit that works best for SMALL/MIDSIZE vehicles (a LARGE vehicle Visor Buddy has been developed and will be here by 1/1/23).
WHICH VERSION DO I CHOOSE?
How to decide what you need. Either the LARGE or SMALL/MIDSIZE vehicle edition.
1. Pull your visor all the way to it’s 90 degree angle which covers the driver’s side window.
2. Measure the ‘gap’ between the visor and the door frame (left to right).
3. If gap is greater than 5 inches, you need the larger Visor Buddy. If gap is 5 inches or less, the smaller Visor Buddy will do just fine.
It’s not the ‘gap’ in front of you that matters. Any gaps in front of you are blocked once you swing the visor with Visor Buddy attached and fully extended. No, it’s the side window that we see is most important when thinking about which version to buy.
You want the ‘gap’ covered and the smaller Visor Buddy can’t quite do it for larger vehicles with wider windows. Our LARGE vehicle edition will have a 10.” slide. So it will take care of ‘gaps’ from 1’ to almost 11”. Check out the image on the left.
LARGE edition or SMALL/MIDSIZE edition?
To determine which size to get for your vehicle, just do a GAP TEST. Just pull the visor all the way around to its 90 degree angle. Measure the gap between visor and door frame.
If Visor GAP = 0” Congrats! You don’t need to buy anything. Your visor likely stretches in every direction. Good for you !
If Visor GAP < 5” you could reduce accident risk as much as 20% by adding our SMALL/MIDSIZE Visor Buddy to your visor.
If Visor GAP > 5” you should consider our LARGE Visor Buddy edition(available for pre-order, expected by March). Reduced rates of accident await you as well.
Difference between Version 1.0 and 2.0?
Visor Buddy works great on most vehicles. However, if you happen to have a smaller or skinny visor, some noticed the clip was too loose for them. No worries! Just shim the clip with a book of matches or folded napkins. Shimming will tighten the ‘clip grip’.
Well, in Version 2.0 we decided to tighten the clip substantially. No more loose clip!
The Competition
Honestly, the competitors have devices that are excessively-large, take over the entire visor, cover your mirror, and look just awful in terms of attractiveness. These products do not use geometry so they must have 24” pullout shields that are way too much.
Go with Visor Buddy instead. It has such a smaller footprint, doesn’t take over your visor, doesn’t cover your mirror, and can easily be positioned to block all the sun glare using the visor’s own geometry. Thus, the device can be much smaller than it’s beheamoth competitors.
With that said, we will still have two sizes to choose from; SMALL/MIDSIZE and the LARGE vehicle editions (LARGE vehicle edition will be here in March.)
