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!

SMALL & LARGE EDITIONS: SMART SOLUTIONS TO A BIG PROBLEM
Visor Buddy is the Smarter and Smaller Auto Visor Extender. It’s Perfect for gaps in your visor that are SMALL and also for gaps that are LARGE. Small is a visor gap under, say, 4 inches. LARGE is any visor gap over 4 inches.

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?
How to decide what you need. Either the LARGE or SMALL edition will work for you. Here is how to determine which one is best:
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 4 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.
Side gaps can be ‘all over the place’ in terms of how big the gap is. You want the ‘gap’ covered and the smaller Visor Buddy can’t quite do it for larger gaps in cars/trucks with wider windows. That is why we developed the LARGE edition. Our LARGE vehicle edition has a 10.” slide. So it will take care of ‘gaps’ from 1” to almost 11”.)



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.

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.
