When you move them over to the side window to block the sun, it allows them to go up against the window without bumping you in the forehead. At least it sounds good in theory.

They were NOT designed that way. You have floppy sunvisor syndrome.
The support in the visor is nothing more than cheap piece of treated cardboard. Eventually they break and become 'floppy sunvisors'.
