Are talking about the side vent shades? I also am looking for some. Can only find some on ebay with the sellers in Russia.

I have seen add-on units that, somehow, fix to the front visors to extend the lower level of the visor. They were on eBay, so may be worth searching for in your local version of eBay. In reality, especially at this time of year with early UK sunsets (and sunrise), the standard visors are pretty useless because they don't cover far enough down the windscreen to stop the glare from the sun (if/when on the odd occasion it manages to break through the clouds).

I'm not talking about the inside visors above your head, I'm talking about the side window vent shades that attache to the outside of the car so you can crack the window and not get wet when it rains

I think the correct name is "wind deflector"?

I have these G3 units purchased from Mick's Garage. They're very good

Check out this window visor: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Window-Viso...064?nav=SEARCH

That's what I got on mine. It's not taped on, but actually fits in the window channel for a secured fit. Very similar to Weathertec Visors.
