Retractable sun visors

    Kia Niro EV in the richest version of equipment is missing almost nothing important, except sun visors, which could be retracted. In my old Soul there are such and for me it is a "must have feature". I was wondering if any of the other KIA or Hyundai models have retractable sun visors, what size and method of attachment would fit Niro EV. Anyone, anything?

    I wondered what a retractable sun visor was so I went googling. I found (here) the Kia Sorento has a sun visor you can slide towards the rear when the sun visor is turned to block sunlight coming through the side window. If this is the trick you're remembering fondly, perhaps Kia Sorento sun visors would fit your Niro EV.

    I don't know why I wrote "retractable" instead of "extendable". Unfortunately, Kia doesn't use a uniform system for attaching sun visors, let alone their sizes. I'm just curious if anyone has found an extendable analogue for the visors installed in the Niro -- with the same spacing of the mounting screws. I tried the Soul, but they don't fit.

    I have a US version 2020 Niro EV EX Premium and the drivers side sun visor (not sure about the passenger side) is extendable. Maybe one of those would work for you.

    Oh, thanks! I found several offers from US but nowhere was pointed that it's a regular or extendable sun visor (f.i. part code 85210-G5930HGC). I asked one or two sellers, so we'll see the answers.

    BTW, I'm also tempted to check if it would be possible to install the handles from the front doors (illuminated and with a lock button) in the rear doors. But they probably won't fit, or there's no wiring loom in the doors anyway, or it's impossible to program it into the CAN bus.

    Good luck, hope it works out for you.
