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.

Maybe you should push harder on the visor.

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...
