The first time I had to call triple-A was when I had the dangling exhaust and didn't want to mess with it. I called and they quoted me an hour wait. Time to get to know the Riv a little better.

I always wondered what that plastic piece was that is behind the flip down mirrors. I thought it was just a tight place to put stuff so you can put down the mirror without all your crap and cd flying at your head.

After messing with some ideas, I found the true purpose of the plastic pieces. Unhook the edge of the flip down mirror and swing it towards the window. Holy $h!† there's another plastic piece on the back of the mirror. This slides creating a larger area to block the sun. Ingenious and luxurious yay

Now for the left over plastic piece. The freakin thing flips down so when you have the mirror blocking the side sun this becomes and extra front sun visor. Now comes the childish fun part. Unhook both mirror and swing them towards the windows then extend them. Now put both plastic visor down in the front. You'll feel like your in a tank.....it's awesome. usa

You can't fathom the excitement till you try it for yourself. Go on you know you want to !

heh, if you are pretty tall and like to recline and drive, then that visor is a must. The riv windows are so long that the regular visor needs some help. razz

Nuttin like cruising with the seat low and lazy and still have great sun protection... usa
