The model X sun visor does not reach the B pillar so the sun hits me in the face. Does anyone know of a product that will cover that last six inches of the window

I keep a thin but sturdy piece of black plastic material in my car that I simply slide into place when I need to block the sun coming from my left side. It sits up high on the window between the glass and the door frame so it doesn’t obstruct my view at all.The model X sun visor does not reach the B pillar so the sun hits me in the face.

Oh my - you can compare a Y to a 3, but definitely not an X

I think the OP may be referring to the gap to the left of the sun visor. I had the very same issue a couple of days ago.Agreed you shouldn't compare the different classes but actually you CAN flip down the mirror part to provide just a little more sun protection. I've done it in the front and the sides when the sun hits the right spot. But definitely form over function for the sides.
The internet is full of Sun shade/visor extension gadgets and solutions, google or amazon to find yours.
I came here to say something similar. I used construction paper, glued a black piece to a light piece so the black piece blocks light and the light piece is on the outside of the window to reduce heat that the black piece would otherwise absorb. A sturdy piece of plastic would work much better and I intend to find one eventually, but haven't really looked yet. My commutes have always consisted of driving into the sun with enough curves that my previous vehicles having two sun visors was very beneficial. As such, I was even considering making the more permanent piece of plastic cover the entire top of the driver door window when it's up so I could use the other visor for the front.I keep a thin but sturdy piece of black plastic material in my car that I simply slide into place when I need to block the sun coming from my left side.

I found the site, but all of the "cut to size" pieces they offer appear to be pretty thick, like 1/8" or more. I can't tell if you got something thinner or if that thickness works well. In either case, do you remember which specific material you got?My material came from TAP Plastic as a large sheet, perhaps 2.5 feet x 3.5 feet. It cost a few dollars. It’s basically indestructible. My original one is the one I still use - started back with my 2012 MDX. I occasionally misplace it under the seats so I have a second one available.
Start with it a bit too large and just trim it back with scissors as needed.
