Default Sun Visors - First Gen

Has anyone noticed that the sunvisors are much too small, and not adjustable fore and aft when placed to block sun from the side? Is there an aftermarket solution to this? Something that would work approximately like the big and fully adjustable sun visors in the 2008 RX?

Yes I noticed this and it sucks. I wonder if the second gens have the adjustability and do they bolt on the 1st gens

The problem is not when it is in the winshield position it is when the sun is on the left side and the sunvisor is so short it does not cover the entire left side of the front window. As far as your comment of the car being 20 years old, my dad has a 1980's cheap chevy S10 pickup with carburator and his sunvisor telescopes so that your can glide it back when it is on the side position. So on this one Lexus definetly screwed up.

Then you:
open the sunroof
open all windows
stick your elbow out
play airplane with your left hand while it blocks the sun from hitting your eyes
get with the day
YMMV
