I find my Cooper's visors to be basically useless and dangerous!!! Does anybody else feel that way too? The visors could use extensions, on both sides of each visor, but no such after-market attachment exists that I am aware of....is this a problem for most people or am I just crazy? :???:

For the MINI equipped with a sunroof, the sunvisors are shorten to accommodate the roof. This topic has been discussed a few times and many people feel the same way. :smile:

Maybe if this same topic is posted in enough different sub-forums, someone will do something about this!

I've gotten used to mine, but an improvement might be nice if possible. People complain about the rear-view mirror being too small, too, but its not.

I'm sure MINI Division will jump in here any minute and apologize on their behalf to all of us MINI drivers who are affected by this problem, and assure us that they're taking the problem seriously, and investigating what can be done about it. As soon as more information becomes available (another way of saying never), they'll let us all know.

I remain surprised that the aftermarket has yet to come up with a solution for this. I think someone here a while back suggested that it might be a liability issue with the head curtain airbags - if anyone was injured by an aftermarket item when the airbags deployed, they'd be SOL.

I wonder if they'll be able to retrofit them to older models?
