Being in the early days of Cerb ownership, took the car out for a blast today, as it seemed a shame to let the opportunity pass by of such a glorious day.
So, with the sun being so low in the sky at this time of year, it was a real pain trying to see where we were going, as there are no sun visors in the car, and seemed to be heading straight into the sun on most of the roads.
It's an 04 model year, with nothing at all to block the direct sun out.
In the Sags and later T350's there are visors fitted into the roof line, which all be it very small, do help.
What do you guys do on sunny days? Is there a simple solution other than wearing a capsmile

I sit sufficiently far back/high up that the roof is the sun visor!

If it's so low that you're still in trouble then it's shades...

My '03 has a tinted green border along the top of the windscreen about 3in wide. Best practice from experience is sunglasses without a doubt.

Am I right in assuming then that the earlier cars had sun visors incorporated?

Behold a thing of beauty!!! wink

I know how much of a pain not having them is with the Tuscan last year. Forget your sun specs and it is a nightmare!

The earlier cars had a larger role bar above the windscreen and had sun visors fitted. The later ones had a flatter bar giving greater visibility but no sun visors. They also had the Tuscan style seats and no head rests in the rear.

Mine is an early car with sun visors but as you said, the roll bar is chunky and actually is mostly all I can see in my rear view mirror.....

They don't really tuck away. That's why mine have lived in a drawer in my workshop since I refurbished the interior. They were about as much use as tits on a boar...
