Sun visor for IVA-W205

I recently had an Alpine IVA-205 with the DVD Navigation system installed in my Tacoma. It seems that the contour of the dashboard lends itself to glare from the sun as you are driving into the sunlight (even at the most upright position of the monitor).
It occurred to me that a visor over the top of the monitor would allow more visibility in bright lighting conditions.
Is anyone aware of a visor, or would it interfere when the monitor articulates out of the way to allow a DVD disc to be installed inside the HU?

Thanks in advance for any input.

Engine,
Have you tried to add an anti glare overlay on your screen? I had to add one on my Pioneer Nav unit. The sheet was trimmed to fit the screen and would not catch when the screen retracted. I bought them at Best Buy for under $1.00 ea
