Sun visor assembly

1. Field of the Invention A sun visor assembly is provided that includes a core having a peripheral edge and a foundation folded over the core and fastened to itself to secure the core substantially within the foundation. The core includes a stiffening member and a frame member having an integrally formed pin member to detachably secure the sun visor to a retainer clip. At least a portion of the foundation extends beyond the peripheral edge of the core to define an edge of the sun visor. An upholstery cover is provided over the foundation and forms an exterior surface of the sun visor. In relatively long sun visors, the integrally formed pin member advantageously provides the structural integrity needed to substantially prevent torsional deformation of the sun visor assembly as it is moved from a storage position adjacent a vehicle headliner to a use position adjacent the vehicle windshield.
