Default Do they make a smaller sun visor?

Hello,
I have a 2001 and when I put the sun visor down it block ALL of my forward vision. I remember my fiancee's Miata had a visor that folded neat at rest, and could either be folded in use or opened to block more sun. Please, tell me they make a visor that is atleast smaller than stock.

Thanks,

Ray

you may want to consider just removing the visors.

there is a link on how to remove the visors. I am 6ft 2in and I love the view I have without the visors and with the lexan top. For the 4 holes that were left I cut pieces of black velco to fit.

Haven't seen any smaller sun visors advertised. Could be the only thing to do is remove the existing ones.
