Default lack of sun visor in f type coupe?

Hello, have you noticed the lack of a sun visor in the f type coupe? It has a skinny sun visor but it doesn't seem to flip to the side to shield from sunshine coming through the driver side window. Is there some type of trick for this or an aftermarket sun visor option?

I guess no one here cares about having a sun visor to block the sun on the left?

The visors are proportionate to the amount of vision via the glass. The Jag has reduced amount sight IMHO vs the 991 (Ive had two 991's). Because of this the visors cover the sun just fine for me. In my P car because the glass has a large scope the visor is bigger and this is probably due to the angle and size of the glass. In fact I just went into the garage to see my Turbo vs the Jag and clearly the Turbo windshield is bigger.

At first I thought the F-Type's sun visor was laughable compared to my old 991. But it actually works fine because of the shape/visibility of the Jag's windshield. But because it's so small, it doesn't really make sense to have it used on the driver side side.

My initial impression was similar to others: "Man, this visor ain't gonna do nothin' for me." Then I tried it. My forward viewing angle was such that the Jag's roof line blocked most of the sun while its short-waisted visor was sufficient to mop up any residual visual irritation. Jaguar 1 Delta 0

I agree that the sun visor is sufficient for the front. however, it sucks blocking side sun with my arm/hand.
