Yes, not sure on the leather, I have the cloth sun visors.

Black duct tape strategically placed provides a mostly unobtrusive “red neck” cure....I am able to unsee the place where the decals reside....
not elegant but ....

Sun visors? They only work at sun elevation of 32 deg +/- 1deg!

I thought those little flappy things were for SWMBO to put 'lippie' on, and to stash parking tickets, receipts etc behind ;-)

Depends entirely on driver’s position. With the seat pushed all the way back and head within 3 or 4” of the roof, those visors work well. Anything larger would obstruct forward vision. Seat pushed forward and viewing from a lower position, those visors don’t do f***all.

The pedant in me has to observe that, since f***all means nothing, that's precisely what they do do.
I agree that they're useful for the taller driver - I've used them to good effect on occasion. I miss them not being able to swivel to block side sun, though.

+2...This is the case and is what is on mine...All leather. I simply cut a piece of satin black vinyl wrap with a paper cutter, so it is square and covered them, and it looks fine. It does not so much try to make it look like they were never there...just has two black squares with a similar sheen instead of those glaring labels. I learned this from the Porsche groups... Same issue and some ruined the visor trying to get them (stickers) off. Took me 5 minutes to cut and apply.

For those of us that are less tall, if you're first or second in the queue, they just obscure traffic lights when you're waiting for them to turn green!

I find the roof above the windscreen does that for me - I have the choice of bending down or looking up through the pano roof!

I wonder why none of these cars with tiny visors(TTS,etc.) don't make them with a folded second piece to almost double size. Look for for me on go fund me!

+10.
Especially seeing as I get around 1,000% more sun here than you do in Blighty!
I did some research a few years ago into mounting a separate fold down visor above the driver's side window, I even bought some material to cover it with, but I couldn't figure out a way to mount it without either pulling the roof lining off or drilling holes so I gave up.

I have a Fresnel window cling that resolves the traffic signal visibility.

I noticed that too...also the streak of soap suds on the windshield from the wiper.

Some folks find it VERY difficult to follow directions....

That’s actually just dust residue that showed as white from the iPhone flash.
