Sun Visor position
Is there some adjustment I may be missing or is the sun visor in my '15 Z51 Vert poorly designed?
I cannot pull the visor down and push it flush against the front windshield. When I pull it down and push it TOWARDS with windshield as far as it will go the sun is blocked but so is most of my forward visibility. I might not even be able to see my entire stopping distance when travelling at higher highway speeds.
I'm only 6 feet tall and have the seat at a normal (minor knee bend) position. For me this is a minor safety concern.

There are no further adjustments. Due to the shape and angle of the windshield, they do not function like most others... I pull it down enough to offer shade and allow for visibility, but the angle is facing the driver rather than the windshield. Seems unorthodox, but works for me.

Having owned 5 different generations of Corvette Convertibles...I can tell you to always keep a baseball cap behind the passenger seat.
That coupled with sunglasses seem to do the trick for me when I'm driving into the sun...
