Side Visor?

The ~12" visors in the smart are somewhat useless for side visors. Every morning on the way to work and in the evening on the way home, the sun blasts me from the drivers side. Anyone have a solution for a side visor mod or third party product solution?

Those look so... 1970s geeky?

Somebody must make a suction-type stick-to-the-window shield. Heading home on I-5, I get the afternoon sun and would like to find a solution as modern as my smart. Maybe something larger and see-through, to cut the intensity but keep the view.

Yes they do! We have a suction cup thing in the car that my wife got from one of her gazillion catalogs; I'll see if I can find out the source.

I have been thinking about using a pull down side shade. Something like this:
