Any new solutions for this issue? I am in CA and this is bugging me everyday driving to work, just unbearable heat and glasses not tinted yet.

That's not a solution. I have super dark ceramic tints and the sun on my face still gets really annoying. I also live in CA.
Exactly, my skin literally burns for direct sun even through front 15% tinted windows.. Can't believe we need looks for 3rd party fix for such a simple issue.. Literally every suv has extended visors, not sure what ever security reason volvo decided not to do it, but should have an alternative solution for this issue along with sun glass holder lol. I can't use that small holder under steering feel since it hits my knee when opened and unsafe to open during driving.

I got the Visormates Sun Visor Extenders.
Not super elegant, but the color matches pretty well, and I don't really notice them when not in use.
And they work as intended when the sun beams in from that annoying spot beyond the end of the visor.

For the Sunglasses holder, I got the Volvo OEM part that replaces the handle above the drivers door.
Works great.

I, too, am disappointed that Volvo doesn't allow the sunvisor to slide rearward when it is next to the driver's side window (in my case, in a V90). Even my 2010 VW Jetta has this feature...with the driver's side having power within the sunvisor for the built-in Homelink and for the on/off switching mechanism for a vanity mirror light.
Due to my long legs, I position the driver's seat very far back. The sunvisor does not block the upper rear area of the driver's window, letting the sun strike the side of my head with full brightness. Having to wear prescription glasses just makes it worse as the sunlight refracts on the edges of the lens in the glasses.

Hi,
which size to get? https://www.amazon.com/Gray-Visorma.../ref=sr_1_1?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1513627179&sr=1-1&keywords=Visormates&th=1
4 x 12
5 x 12
6 x 13
Not sure which I got. They actually e-mailed me after I ordered to ask what car I had. I would guess 5x12. I can check tonight.

Depending on your seating position, moving the visor away from the door/window closer to your face should block more sun (that said, I wish it extended).
I hope your wife enjoys it! sorry, couldn't resist.
