ABSTRACT:
Attenuating or blocking light in a vehicle includes a rotatingly connected first and second sheet each with a plurality of holes and apertures, respectively. During use, a hole of the first sheet is registered with an aperture of the second sheet and both the hole and aperture are securely fitted about a support arm of a rear view mirror in the vehicle. Because the sheets are tinted or opaque, and fitted to eliminate space gaps, light incoming to the vehicle is attenuated or blocked. To adjust positioning, users realign a second hole of the first sheet with a second aperture of the second sheet and fit both about the support arm. Because of the arrangement of the sheets relative to one another, and their relative pivot point locations, the sheets hang in a different position on the support arm, after adjustment, higher or lower than before.
