I've seen a stickable sun strip on Ebay. But if the sun is so low, then it will make no difference anyway. I drive east in the morning to work so have suffered the same pain recently. Sunglasses are the only solution I've found or shielding eyes with one hand.

Only thing I've found that works are good sun glasses and a baseball cap.

Finished night shift and was driving home, barely got the ice of the windscreen and coupled with the low sun, it was a little worrying at times!

I found some (cheap) sunglasses in a local chemist's shop with progressive tint; nearly clear at the bottom but very dark near the top. Very useful for this situation.

For low sun glaring off wet roads nothing beats Polarised sunglasses.

Does the strip stick on the outside or inside of the windscreen ?
