Abstract
A vehicle includes a support structure. A headliner is disposed proximate the support structure and includes a substrate and a cover stock disposed over the substrate. The substrate defines an elongated recess. A visor assembly includes a visor coupled to the headliner via a shaft on a first side of the visor. The visor includes a coupling member on a second opposing side of the visor. The check assembly is coupled to the headliner within the elongated recess and selectively engages the coupling member of the visor. The check assembly includes an upper check member and a lower check member configured to at least partially separate from the upper check member and translate along the elongated recess in response to a predetermined force acting on the lower check member.
