ABSTRACT:
A visor molded to define a lip which surrounds a vehicle accessory for holding it in place after the molding process. The vehicle accessory may be a vanity mirror, a garage door opener transmitter or other accessory. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the visor body is formed with a curved cross section along its minor axis to conform the visor shape to that of a curved headliner of a vehicle. The invention includes a method of manufacturing a visor by placing an accessory in a mold for a visor, shaping the mold to define a rim surrounding a portion of the accessory for holding it in place; molding the visor core to hold the accessory in place; and, in a preferred embodiment, placing an upholstery material in the mold such that the visor construction is completed upon completion of the molding process.
