Antiglare Visors?

Wife wanted one so I got it from Amazon. I don't often use it but it helps after you get used to using it and the yellow color. She doesn't like it because she said it makes everything blurry. I tried looking at it from both sides but did not have that problem. Cheap enough to try.

A good pair of polarized driving glasses may be a better choice. I used them for years while driving a delivery van. The visor does work but just a caution... Neighbor bought one and did not fold it up when he exited vehicle. The next time he got in he hit his head on it and ended up with 4 stitches.

Same junk marketing as the night vision glasses. Driving glasses of optical quality should help. The problem with polarized is that it may filter out the screen on the GPS or tablet.

iplante4, what are you doing driving around looking at a screen or tablet?

jplante4, you are correct.

I have a 7" rear camera screen and an RVI TPMS screen that is an Android. The Android is designed with an anti-glare axis that works with polarized sun glasses when it is horizontal as RVI has you install it. The Rear camera screen however, unfortunately used a universal screen designed for vertical placement but the product must be installed horizontally. I am working with the manufacturer to correct this. All a manufacturer has to do is pick the correct anti-glare axis to use. You can see in the two photos below how it looks with my glasses turned different ways:

Polarized glasses as you wear them, Rear view bad, RVI good.


Polarized glasses turned sideways, Rear view good but RVI Android starts to look bad.

If it is the Tac Visor you are looking at don't waste your money. Over 50% of the reviews are a 1 star rating.

Just noticed a tv ad for an antiglare visor that clips on the the existing visor. Has anyone had experience with these? Do they work?

"As seen on TV"

A tag line that just OOOOZES "quality".. NOT.

Back in 97 I had a truck which had a second smaller plastic visor (solid not see through) built in behind the main visor.

Allowed me to move the main visor to the side and drop the smaller visor to reduce the amount of open windshield. made a huge difference in driving by reducing the amount of glare from all the extra unneeded windshield. Most times the windshields are way too tall, allows considerably more light in at you during the day in bright sun.

Used that nearly all the time.. Wished vehicle manufacturers would add that in instead of all the techno garbage that is glitchy, doesn't work or takes your attention away from driving.

I would save your money, pretty much very little huckstered in TV infomercials works as advertised or is of any quality or value.

I would suggest just dropping the visor to cover some of the extra windshield at the top but not too much as to block overhead signal lights.

If you want a really good glare shield, go to a pilots and aircraft store and look at what they have, a little expensive but they do the job, the over hang and hood on ower "C" are painted a flat or mate white and that reduces a lot of glare, I wanted to paint the hood flat black, wife would not have it, as some older aircraft had.

NO NO NO But wait. You get a second one free, just pay additional postage and handling.
