I ALWAYS leave the visors up, top up or top down.
the only time I put a visor down is to use it to block the sun. (as it was intended to be used.)
I have a friend that always put the visors down when the top was down and it looked GAY!

Visors up all of time. Being 6'1", if I have the visors down, they block too much of my view out the windshield.

Top down, and visors up, but they seem to come back down when I go really really fast.... being 6'4", it's a bit of a problem sometimes, but nothing to really bother me...I just slouch a little more....

so what's the opinion ? Sun shades up above the windshield, or tucked down against the inside of the glass, obstructing the view somewhat ?
I know it's winter most everywhere else, but it will be summer again someday. Discuss among yourselves.
visors up

Remember top down visors down...
It is not
to do otherwise...
Visors up with top down is the same as pocket protectors, horned rim glasses and white socks.....
I wear horned rim glasses and white socks and put my visors up when the top goes down.

Top down visors up, except when I park it with the top down and
the windows up I fold the visors down to cover the radar detector.
