The accessories were popular at the time and had the advantage that they protected from the sun at any time of the year. The sunshade is still available today and gives the VW Beetle that certain something. But other vehicles like the Lada Niva, an Opel Vivaro & Co. can be equipped with it. Basically there is the possibility to get a sun protection for almost every vehicle. In the end, only the price decides about the project.

The sunshade was and is almost always made of acrylic and can still be purchased in different colors. The colored acrylic is usually bent and attached to an aluminum frame. Sunshades are installed at the top of the windshield. As a rule, the useful accessories are screwed on. So-called knurled screws can be used to lower the sunshade. A reduction of a few centimeters is possible and ensures adequate glare protection. And as already mentioned, the outer sun visors are still available today for lovers of classic and sometimes up-to-date cars. As a rule, sun shades are increasingly being mounted on historic cars. Modern vehicles almost do not use the sun chutes. An exception are modern trucks. Trucks have large windscreens and can benefit from adjustable sunshades.

    The original CORNETT sun visor is always made of acrylic glass (4 possible colors)
