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

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

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...

sweet. glad to help!

jocahontas · 10-20-2009, 08:00 AM

Hey IsLNdbOi, after you receive the ebay item, can you post on here how easy or hard it was to install the new one?

And isn't it strange that they have the instructions on how to extend it in the manual even though it isn't equipped with the feature. I'm still going to contact yaris for an explanation.
