Abstract
A visor mounting pin that pulls the covering cloth inside the substrate halves during the same operation as pin insertion thereby eliminating the entire secondary tabbing operation and the use of an adhesive. The visor mounting pin includes a plurality of fasteners hidden from view when installed in a visor. A first fastener retains the visor mounting pin to the vehicle interior, a second fastener affixes covering material to the visor substrate by tension, and a third fastener attaches the visor mounting pin to the visor substrate. Preferably, the first, second, and third fasteners are integrally molded as one complete piece.
