ABSTRACT:
A sun visor assembly is attached to a vehicle headliner near a vehicle windshield and includes a visor substrate body covered by fabric material that is moveable between a raised position and a lowered position. The visor assembly includes a control arm that is mounted to a vehicle support structure, such as a roof, for example. The control arm rotatably supports the visor substrate with respect to the vehicle support structure. In the lowered position the visor substrate is rotated downwardly about the control arm to partially block a top portion of the windshield so that sunlight is prevented from shining directly into an occupant's eyes. In the raised position, the visor is rotated upwardly so that it is near the headliner and does not block the windshield. The visor assembly also includes a control member that connects the control arm to the visor substrate body. The control member selectively positions the visor substrate at various positions between the raised and lowered positions. The control member has a tab that extends in a first direction and a plurality of barbs that extend in a second direction different than the first direction. The tab and barbs retain the control member to the visor substrate.
