And the driver needs a second way out if it lands upside down with fuel, scalding water or oil pouring on him/her.

Not much on the zip tie Idea either, but I get it. They may last a couple nights on a visor but vibration and forces will cause the part to actually cut them. Im not actually talking about a side visor.
The car that caught fire, the whole left side was open, except for maybe a 3-4 inch side visor. Which was a separate piece from the sail panel dzused on though.
Also on the zip tie aspect, this picture is only time we've had a zip tie break and a panel fall off, for the visors. The front visor fell off and 1 zip tie broke on the right visor. The tail tank cover ripped off because the fiberglass ripped apart (Which went flying about 40ish feet in the air.) Same with the hood starting to fall off. This was 3 flips in and flipped 3 more times after.
