Abstract
An automotive windshield visor and glare screen is provided comprising an opaque windshield visor defining a compartment for storing a glare shield or light filter. The visor is pivotable about a longitudinally extending round wire pivot. The visor is pivotable upward to a stored position and downward to an operative position for shielding the operator's eyes from the sun. The glare screen extends from an opening in one longitudinal edge of the visor. Preferably, the round wire pivot and the opening from which the glare screen extends are adjacent the same longitudinal edge of the visor. The glare screen is slidably received in the compartment for deployment downward to an operative position for reducing glare when the visor is pivoted upward in its stored position. This allows the operator to alternately choose a sun visor or filter. First and second longitudinally extending wipers are slidably received in the visor. The wipers center the glare screen within the visor and clean the glare screen during reciprocal movement between deployed and stored positions.
