ABSTRACT:
The present invention involves a mounting assembly for use in a vehicle with a pre-existing primary sunshade assembly. The mounting assembly may provide support for an amenity such as a secondary sunshade. A secondary sunshade may be mounted in a position parallel to the windshield of the vehicle and, when the primary sunshade is positioned alongside a side window of the vehicle, the secondary sunshade can be tilted downward to shade the windshield. The mounting assembly includes a mounting block having an aperture into which a structural projection of the primary sunshade assembly is inserted and a set of pre-drilled holes forming a screw hole pattern which is alignable with the screw hole pattern of the primary sunshade mounting assembly. The mounting assembly may be used to retrofit a vehicle already having a primary sunshade by removing the primary sunshade, mating the block of the mounting assembly with the primary sunshade assembly, and attaching the two assemblies to the vehicle with elongate fasteners inserted through the aligned screw hole patterns. It would also be possible to use a sloped mounting block, with or without an amenity attached thereto, in conjunction with the primary sunshade assembly to alter the swing plane of the primary visor.
