Sunvisor Extension For MINI Cooper

Have been searching for a flip down tinted sunvisor extention that will fit the Mini. Sofar I have only found those for full size visors. Has anyone come across such a visor that fits the Mini? Thanks.

Only one I've found so far...

... is here: http://www.mileskimball.com/mileskim...Code=SEARCHDEX
but I'm still looking. I have one of these, and I'm not 100% satisfied with it, as it's just a bit too wide, and occasionally bumps my rear view mirror when I'm putting the visor to the side window. Also, the means of attachment to the visor is not exactly high-tech. On the other hand, it does do its job, in spite of being a cheap plastic thing. My issue with the stock visor is not with how far down it goes when in front, but with its short length when placed to the side.

I've seen pictures of hardtops ('07's I think) that have side visors built in. I've got a convertible, so attaching something to the inside of the 'roof' isn't an option for me.

(ps. can someone instruct me on imbedding a url into a word?)

I use a folded piece of blue paper, and stuff it in the gap between the window and seal. It's actually a tire joint receipt.

To imbed a url into a word, just highlight the word, then hit the hyperlink butin and paste your link.

I also am not too happy with the MINI's puny visors so I am in the process of trying to find a manufacturer for a prototype of a visor extension I made for Umberto....it attaches to the stock visor with pull outs to the left and right and is wrapped in fabric to match the headliner.....
