ABSTRACT:
A mechanism and method for attaching a sunvisor to a pivot shaft by providing a generally U-shaped clip having first and second arms within a cooperating clip housing integrally formed within the rear panel of the sunvisor. A conduit is formed by the spring clip enabling the sliding of the pivot shaft into both the clip housing and the spring clip. The clip housing is designed to cooperate with the pivot shaft to pre-stress one arm of the spring clip, thereby eliminating excess play between the spring clip and the sunvisor when the visor is pivoted. The attachment mechanism is designed such that a snap-shut hook is properly received within a receiving hook, thereby effectively securing the sunvisor to the pivot shaft.
