Visor extension - Toyota Yaris Forums

jocahontas · 10-19-2009, 07:07 PM

I own a 09 Yaris and according to the manual I should be able to extend the driver's visor which would be very helpful since the shortness of it does no good blocking the sun when I move it to the side window.

However, I can't for the life of me figure out where or how it would/could extend.

1) Is this a feature that I possibly do not have in my model?
2) Is there an attachment that someone that might recommend that I can buy to extend the length?

PS Couldn't figure out which forum to post this so hope I picked the correct one.

there should be thing that slides out of the side of it...

TinyGiant · 10-19-2009, 08:24 PM

look on the outside edge .. there should be a little lip that slides out

if you cant find it take a picture of the visor and post it up :)

jocahontas · 10-19-2009, 08:58 PM

There is no lip that I can find. Here's some pics.

TinyGiant · 10-19-2009, 09:03 PM

looks like you arent crazy after all lol j/p

thats sucky

Mine doesn't have the sunvisor extensions either. Been looking through the FS/FT forum to snag new sunvisors from someone.

jocahontas · 10-19-2009, 10:12 PM

Dang that's crap. You think I got screwed over or is it an added option that wasn't offered to me? I have to grab onto the handle above the window to use my arm to block the sun.

TinyGiant · 10-19-2009, 10:15 PM

lol i roll my window down a bit and hold onto my door in the summer cause i'm too lazy to move the visor

i dont remember hearing that as an option i thought it was standard.

did you get like the basic manual no frills or something?

TinyGiant · 10-19-2009, 10:16 PM

i think our cars were designed for women though ..

the drivers side visor has a mirror on it. what dude needs to look at himself in the mirror in a car?

i barely look at myself in a mirror at the house lol

IsLNdbOi · 10-19-2009, 10:19 PM

My '09 5-door LB has power everything and it didn't come with the extenders.

jocahontas · 10-19-2009, 11:03 PM

Same here. Power everything. The manual however has the extension so wondering if it's supposed to be included. Guess I will try and contact Toyota's headquarters.

In the meantime has anybody who has one that doesn't have it bought any kind of extender? If so what kind?

CTScott · 10-19-2009, 11:29 PM

The 09s don't have them and the 09 visors are a harder plastic than the prior years. Crashy (08) had the extending ones and they were the first part to sell on my FS thread.

ern-diz · 10-19-2009, 11:30 PM

weird...i have a bare bones '07 model and it's got the plastic extenders...

kustom play · 10-19-2009, 11:32 PM

i had the extenders on my 07

i had them listed an nobody wanted them at the time lol, i sold them for a good buck to somebody in japan who wanted them.
