ABSTRACT:
A sunshade assembly, and method of manufacturing same, including an inner core board, a self-contained extender assembly mounted to the core board, and an outer covering. The extender assembly includes a plastic channel member attached to the core board by heat staking, and an extender blade slidingly received within the channel member between a retracted position and an extended position. The handle end of the extender blade extends through an access opening in the outer covering and includes a handle portion that, in the retracted position of the extender blade, wraps around and frictionally engages the peripheral edge of the outer covering, thereby making the handle visible and easily grasped from both sides of the sunshade assembly. The channel member includes upper and lower tracks between which the blade is slidingly retained. The tracks include fingers that are resiliently biased against the blade to provide friction.
