One thing that is really annoying me is the driver side front sun visor. There is a gap on the upper left corner where the sun is shining directly into my left eye! Anyone else have this problem? It's really annoying!!

 

When I was driving mine home from Mini SF that was the first thing wrong I noticed. So when the vehicle got tinted the next week I had the shop put a 5% eyebrow across the top of the windshield. Problem Solved.

 

My MCS is the same way. Very annoying.

 

same here, why don't they put a bigger sun visor?

 

Oh man - that's really going to annoy me.

 

Going to have my CM tinted before the blistering summer hits Vegas - I also find that at night, the headlights from cars behind me reflecting in the rear view mirror, seem way stronger than in any other car I've owned.

 

Glad to know that I am not the only one but still annoyed...
Don't know why they didn't make one of those visors that has a pull out extension.
Would you be able to post a pic of your Mini so I can see how the eyebrow looks? thanks!

 

The "eyebrow" tint is a brilliant idea, sbdubya!

 

I found the same problem myself. I did find a partial solution. If you detach the visor from its holder and swing in forward the left edge will move towards the column and reduce the area where the sun comes through. Still would be better if the visor was wider. You have to keep moving it around depending on the direction of the car.

 

Yup. Insufficient visor.

 

Thanks! I will give that a try...

 

Just curious...for those that have owned other models of the Mini, do they also have this sun visor problem?

 

Hey miniCloud9,
Here's a few shots from the exterior. Look along the top of the window and you'll notice it. Sorry I do not have any looking out from the inside.

Good luck and enjoy.

 

Thanks for posting the pics!

 

I have that problem, too, the same as I had in my '07 MCS. Never thought of tinting...and since we haven't done that yet, I'll make sure it gets added to the list.
