Welcome to Visor Buddy!

The Visor Buddy brand began as a unique visor extender product that was invented by Andrew Orr after maybe 30 years of driving back and forth between his hometown of Columbus Mississippi and several cities in Florida.  During those drives through quite a lot of sun glare, Andrew came up with Visor Buddy. and was it’s first customer!  The original Visor Buddy fills gaps in your visor that can sometimes let in blinding sunlight or sun glare. By blocking this intrusion and accident risk, you create a safer environment for which to drive and lessen the risk of crashing by 18% according to one study. 


Since creating the original Visor Buddy visor extender, Visor Buddy has grown into a brand name with seven products currently offered or in development. We have a visor extender for visor gaps on the sides of visors (visor buddy large or small editions), in both black and beige colors, we have sun protection for underneath the visor (visor buddy “Shorty”), we have a trucker visor extender called visor buddy “Big Rig”, and we have a great 5-layer sunshade called visor buddy “Shade”.  There is something for everyone!

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 any size visor gap.

WHICH VERSION DO I CHOOSE?

Order LARGE vehicle edition

LARGE edition or SMALL 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 < 4” you could reduce accident risk as much as 20% by adding our SMALL Visor Buddy to your visor.

If Visor GAP > 4” you should consider our LARGE Visor Buddy edition. Reduced rates of accidents await you as well.

Difference between Version 1.0 and 2.0?

Update: Visor Buddy’s all have tighter clips now. It should work better on the skinniest of visors. In Version 2.0 we decided to tighten the clip substantially. No more loose clip!

We also came out with Visor Buddy Version 2.0 LARGE Edition, also with a tight clip. It sports a 10” pullout slide.

And Version 3.0 is in the works. This version will see a lengthening of the SMALL Visor Buddy slide. Now, with version 3.0, the SMALL slide will extend 6 inches instead of 3.5 inches.

Also we won’t make it as easy to hyperextend the slide (pulling too far) and loosen or release the two small springs inside. Springs aren’t needed in actuality (they help with friction only) but we will make it more difficult for them to be forced out.

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. There are two sizes to choose from, small & large. Either 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.

Choose Visor Buddy Small for gaps under 4 inches. Choose Visor Buddy Large for visor gaps that exceed 4” in length.

Visor Buddy in Action - VIDEO

Great device. Sun from the front, no problem. Ditto from the left. It works to get sun that comes from the right by swinging the visor so you close your field of vision and can get shielded even though the device is smaller. Pretty ingenious as it uses the 90 degree angle of the existing visor to get the out of the way instances where the sun blinds you. Meanwhile it rests comfortably and out of the way as its a good balance of thin construction and durability. Its pretty darn durable if you ask me. Shoot, i dropped it on a stone floor and it bounced a few times but not even a scratch. That impressed me. The clip is very strong and comes pre-bent, presumably to allow easier maneuverability. Was worried about the size but i can see what they were shooting for when you work the device along with what its clipped to. For $20, I think its a good value.

Originally I bought this for my side (mostly I am the passenger), but recently my husband had an eye appointment early in the morning and I offered it to him--he said "no thanks, it is for you, I don't want to mess with it. " I told him I could put it on (he was driving with the sun in his eyes) and still he kept arguing! I told him he was just being stubborn, then he grabbed it and shoved it on his visor, then he extended it and had a smug smile 😏 on his face! I then told him, "say thank you, dear. "

And thank-you Amazon for having this in your website!!

Visor Buddy works great! It helps block the sun glare that my car visor doesn't reach. I live in Colorado, which is one of the states with the most sunny days per year. When I’m driving towards the mountains in the late afternoon, sun glare can be very strong, so this product is a real help. I also like how it easily clips onto the existing car visor and can be moved around, unlike other options which aren't as versatile. I definitely recommend the Visor Buddy!

We love the units! They are in my wife’s car. She remarked upon them right away.

Buy a Visor Buddy - it could save your life.

Most studies into sun glare while driving point to a 16% to 20% reduction in accident risk if sun glare is mitigated somehow. Visor Buddy effectively blocks sun glare.

Bright sunlight under normal driving conditions causes the majority of most accidents according to one study. Visor Buddy helps to block the sun while driving so you won’t become one of these statistics.
