    I've spent an hour searching through old threads and have found nothing specific about this issue. I am looking for a replacement visor for the driver side, which can be extended. Surely, another Toyota model's visor will fit the Prius without looking ridiculous. Yes, I know it may interfere with the side airbag. I want one any way. Yes, I know there are numerous, cheesy aftermarket options, which equate to a rubber band and a piece of cardboard. I'm not interested in those. I've seen suggestions made for using a lexus, yaris, or matrix extendable visor as a replacement, but I have not seen a thread that shows anyone being successful in any such venture. Has anyone replaced the teeny tiny sun visor with an extendable variety from another car?

    I've tried several commercially made flip down and roll down contraptions, but the best solution so far is a piece of thin plastic (or cardboard) and a couple of rubber bands. I would love a Toyota solution

    I may go to the dealership today with a tape measure and just start measuring the visors of other Toyota models. Surely, there's a Matrix, Corolla, or Yaris visor that will work!

    I've been trying to find one recently (again) at a cheaper price from an aftermarket supplier/reseller, but can't find any HS250h ones that are extendable... AND, I was reading in this review of the Lexus here 2010 Lexus HS 250h Hybrid Review that they didn't think the extendable sun visor on it did much....
