Does the B8 RS4 have the '3rd' mini sun visor?
As per the title really, coming from a B7 RS4 I was wondering if the B8 also had the mini sun visor above the rear view mirror?

It does have the sunglasses holder though, which although not ideal, can open up and provide partly the same function

Thanks for taking the time to post the photo Graeme. Its a shame it wasn't continued across to the B8, I quite liked that little shade.Graeme4130 wrote:It does have the sunglasses holder though, which although not ideal, can open up and provide partly the same function

I liked it in my B7 too, but have somewhere were I can stash raybans without my kids breaking them is very helpful too

Re: Does the B8 RS4 have the '3rd' mini sun visor?
In retrospect it does sound a trivial query, the main motivator was my planning where to mount a BlackVue DR550-GW 2ch dashcam. I thought the mini sunvisor may hide it for a discreet installation.RS6chris! wrote:Rick_RS4 wrote:i hope so as that would be a deal clincher for me

I had a new RS6 for a bit this afternoon, and that didn't have one either

It's a victim of the cost reductions made by Audi's bean counters.Graeme4130 wrote:I had a new RS6 for a bit this afternoon, and that didn't have one either

Once you've had it you really miss it when it's not there on another car.John Johnson wrote:It made me go and have a look at what the fuss was about ! I would never had spotted said flappage tbh
My wife's Fabia has extensions on the sun visors to do the same job, and my C1 has had an extended glare prevention area added around the mirror base (i.e. black matt sticky backed plastic!).

the auto lights/dimming mirror base is that big it covers most of the middle anyway
