Default Sun visor with top off

What do you do with the sun visors when you take the top off? Leave them up and they stick up above the windshield and look dumb. Tuck them under and they block your view.

If the sun is in my eyes I put them down, otherwise they are up. Same thing I do with the top up.

But now you got me thinking!!! Just like I now wonder about whether some of my trim pieces are hideously unsightly, whether my stereo REALLY is good enough for my ears, whether Mobil 1 REALLY is in my car's absolute BEST interest, whether Goodyear Eagle F1 Runflats are sufficient to give me the fun they appear to be giving me, whether I might, at some point, unexpectedly slide off my seat and lose all control of the car, and, finally, if the smile I get (both on the inside and outside) every time I drive my car is real or fake.

I leave mine down all the time so I can look at myself in the mirror.

^^This.

Does it look dumb that my head sticks above the windshield with the top removed also?

Although, what's really dumb looking, from my end, is that I only have the passenger side visor installed as I removed the driver side so I could see.

All the way forward for me, but I'm 5'7" so I have no problem getting my seat height such that they don't obstruct my vision.
