Abstract
A plurality of fasteners joining a sun visor to an automobile. Each fastener fits through a related pair of matching holes in the visor and automobile body, with the hole in the visor being enlarged to permit lateral movement of the visor relative to the fastener. A washer fits over the fastener and against a flange of the fastener. In the fastening position, the flange presses against the washer which in turn presses against the visor, permitting slide movement therebetween. When there is relative movement between the visor and the automobile body due to expansion and contraction because of temperature change, the fasteners permit relative movement without creating stresses in the visor.
