ABSTRACT:
A visor includes a snap-in frame which extends inside a visor mirror receiving recess and engages its sidewalls compressing upholstery fabric against the walls and securely holding it in place. In one embodiment, the visor core is of clamshell construction in which the upholstery material is wrapped around the free edges and held in place around the peripheral boundary of the visor by the clamping action of the visor core. A method of manufacturing a visor of such construction includes the steps of surrounding a visor core having two halves with upholstery material and temporarily affixing the edges of the upholstery material around the free edges of the core, joining the core halves together to clamp the upholstery material in place around the periphery of the visor so formed while bonding the visor core halves permanently together to provide a compressive clamping force to the upholstery material. The method of the preferred embodiment of the invention pertaining to the visor recess includes the steps of cutting an opening through the visor upholstery material having a dimension slightly smaller than the dimensions of the visor recess and inserting the spring frame into the recess to compressibly hold the edges of the upholstery material in place.
