Hi,
I'm just wondering if it is possible to replace the sun visor. I have a 06 Accord and it doesn't have the extendable visor. I want to replace it with one that does. What parts would I need? Instructions would be nice, or else I'll just have to play around with it.

Thanks.

They should all extend, I have the cheapest model and it has them. I just didnt know it. Pull it out of the clip, and the whole visor moves out, (not the extension wing you see on a lot of cars, the whole thing moves out)

that would be, it moves. I know what he wants the "SLIDING" extention. I want the same thing. I get blinded when the sun is at my left.

He has an '06 Hybrid. The sun visors don't extend/ slide at all. They should be easily swapped with the EX sunvisors, but I haven't heard of anyone doing that mod so I'm not 100% sure it will work.

Why would Honda do that to the Hybrid? Do hybrid owners not need extendable sun visors?

OK I am lost...I have an EX-V6 and I don't think mine extends. The length of mine is probably about 12 inches and I don't think it goes further.

Here is an attachment that slides over from the visor.

They don't extend by getting longer.. they slide out. Give it a nice tug when it's out of the holder and you'll know what I mean (towards the right if it's in front of you and towards the back if it's to the left of you).

cost savings probably.. There were a bunch of little things the Hybrid doesn't have that the EX does.

I know what you mean now...I didn't know they do that, I will give it a try since I am blinded sometimes. Thanks.

You would figure that they market it as the top of the line Accord here that they'll include these little things.

I don't know if I have to replace the visors or the railing.
