Window Visor

I saw there is a Visor in overseas CM, what does every one think ?? Good or not good idea for Visor??

OEM parts - around 200 kinda expensive

The Visor is a great idea!!
Why MINI decided to put a handle in place of the (very useful) driver's side window visor on the CM is a mystery to me.
Why would the driver ever need a handle??

Yes, $200 is steep for an item that should have never been replaced.

BTW, the screws for the visor line up exactly where the handle screws do, so it's an easy swap.
However, the visor doesn't fit very well in the space when not in use.

I loved the visor in my R56. Never thought to even look to see if the Countryman had it. Made a bad ASSumption.

I'll keep looking at the aftermarket shops for a solution.

Yea I loved the visor in my R56, kinda disappointed, but for $200 I'd pass I can just flip my windshield visor around.

Looks like Chibi is referring to the rain guards for the side windows, not actually sun visors. I've had them on other vehicles and loved them.
