A sleeve insert () has a one piece construction with a cylindrical portion () disposed within a hole () of a bearing member () for the visor assembly (). The cylindrical portion () has an inner surface () with a substantially low coefficient of friction for rotating and sliding an arm member () of the visor assembly () through the sleeve insert ().

Low-friction sleeve insert for a visor bearing

An improved sliding sun visor assembly for a vehicle includes a visor body. The visor body has an inner surface which defines a first frictional engagement surface. A visor arm is provided and has a first end attachable to a portion of the vehicle, and a second end. A detent clip is disposed about the second end of the visor arm. A detent member receives the detent clip and has an outer surface which defines a second frictional engagement surface. The second frictional engagement surface is selectively engaged with the first frictional engagement surface.
