ABSTRACT:
A visor body is made of a polymeric material and includes a guide track formed therein for slidably holding an extendable panel comprising a polymeric core shaped to interface with said guide of said visor body. The core is covered by upholstery material to conform to the interior of a vehicle. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the extendable panel is laminated utilizing a PET core, a sheet of film adhesive on opposite sides thereof and upholstery material. In a preferred embodiment also, the guide means of the visor body comprises a pair of opposed facing open channels for receiving the auxiliary panel which has a peripheral edge with a reduced thickness for extending into the channels to allow sliding movement between the fabric-to-plastic interface between the extendable panel and the visor body. Such construction is relatively inexpensive and provides a quiet, smooth sliding visor assembly with an improved finished appearance to the vehicle interior.
