Abstract
A sunvisor for an automotive vehicle has a shell or frame with two separate halves foldable along a common edge. The shell halves have juxtaposed notches along the common edge and clamping flanges or ribs on one surface thereof adjacent the notches. A visor body is formed by folding the shell halves along the common edge. After folding, the visor body has an inner cavity. A retainer or support pin is integrally formed with a fabric tucking flange. Before closing the shell halves, the support pin is placed and held so as to force the cover fabric into its final position. Upon closure of the shell halves, the clamping flanges cooperate to retain the support pin and cover fabric. The support pin cooperates with a sunvisor support latch to support the sunvisor with the vehicle.
