    I have a 2017 and I want to find a sliding Sun visor. When I rotate the stock visor to cover the door side, it’s not long enough to keep the Sun out of my eyes.
    Is there an aftermarket or newer model that I can use so it slide on the post to cover my face?

    There was a lot of discussion a couple of years ago - not sure if a solution was found - GOOGLE something like PriusChat Sunvisor Gen4 - you might find the previous discussion.

    I remember that discussion. I can't find the original thread but if I remember correctly the upshot was that you have to make your own, e.g. this one: My fix for the sun visors | PriusChat

    While I have also seen (and in fact owned) the type of visors that slide on the post to extend them, none of them had illuminated mirrors like the ones in my Prius.

    You can also get ones that attach to your existing visor and extend downwards. If you search for B08GLD9PN1 on Amazon UK you'll find it or just use this link: https://amzn.to/32iMGk5

    The expensive but nicest looking way is to buy visors for 2021 or newer Prii. They fit fine on older models. But I tested them in the dealership and they still don't cover very well.

    I have these. They are not as pretty, but work infinitely better and cost a whole lot less.

    Yeah, saw that but it’s a few years old and none of those look good. I was hoping someone by now had a better retrofit or swap.

    I gave up and tinted the top 6 inches of the windshield to 5% . Never had to use the sun-visor eversince.
