Lack of telescoping Sun Visor solution

This is definitely not my first ride that doesn't have a telescoping sun visor. Annoying that manufacturers either overlook this or feel it's not needed. My wife was surprised that the XC90 doesn't have that feature, and usually she gets the brunt of the sun on trips to visit family. I happened to stumble across a fellow forum member @chmax who makes an excellent solution. It's honestly better than what you find out there on Amazon and other websites. I purchased a set a little over a week ago and couldn't be happier! My wife also loves the product and I got to use it myself the other day and I too am impressed. Massimo was super easy to work with and it didn't take long to get the product that he ships from overseas. I love how the product slips right underneath the card holder to stay in place and it's also easy to extend and put back into place. If you're looking for a solution to this oversight by Volvo, reach out to get a set ordered for yourself.

btw there is a long running thread (https://www.swedespeed.com/threads/no-telescoping-sun-visor.585811/page-5) where I posted over the years a number of pictures of my two products and also the announcements for improvements and coverage for the xc60 (at least for the type of sun visor flap I was able to get my hands on). Full disclosure: in that thread there is also a bunch of (good) feedbacks on the products as well.

These do look great...what color is that? Blond/beige or something else? Thank you. - Rob

I wish Volvo would get this straightened out :D The "blond" interior had indeed blond leather seats (not even sure thay are offered anymore) but the lining has always been a sort of dirty gray. E.g., the limited edition pre-series were all delivered with this interior; even my MY16 with black seats had the "blond" lining.
All the pictures you have seen with the gray sun visors are mounted on a "blond" interior. There is only so much you can do against creative marketing names :D probably I would spare myself a lot of explanations if I would call my products "blond" instead of what they are (grey), but I am an engineer :D :D
