    It is probably to block the sun, so when the sun is in front of you it doesnt blind you when you are looking in the rear view mirror

    I thought it was for that purpose so I tried it on a sunny day...and it didn't block Sh*t...So if it is for that purpose then it's usless to me...

    its a visor for the map lights directly in front of it. Blocks those from the Rear View mirror.

    It isn't for the sun, and i never found a way in which it could sufficiently block that if even if you tried to.

    there was an offical SOA press release regarding this thing. if you search for it you can find it.

    i belive it is to block lights from behind you, so that they dont reflect off the rear view mirror into your eyes.

    its not for the map lights because my RS has it and does not have map lights.

    Yes, it's a mini sun visor and it only works well for taller folks.

    Doesn't work that well as you can clearly see every car back there's headlights! Especially the big f'n semi!:eek3:


    I've heard it was for the map lights so they wouldn't affect the automatic tinting of the thing. But, WTF do I know?:biggrin:
