    Abstract: A visor assembly includes first and second coextensive shades formed from opaque material for reflecting sunlight outwardly and away from the vehicle. The shades are sized and shaped to become nested subjacent to a windshield and partially intercalated within a selected portion of the vehicle frame surrounding the windshield. The shades are situated within a slot of the vehicle and each shade includes an inner edge portion that is juxtaposed side-by-side and formed from rubber. First and second pairs of guide tracks are intercalated within the vehicle slot and conjoined to a top surface of the shades. The first pair of guide tracks lays adjacent to the vehicle slot and the second pair of guide tracks lays adjacent to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle. A power mechanism selectively positions the shades between retracted and extended positions. The user can extend and retract one shade while another shade remains stationary.
