Abstract
A sun visor with a plate member disposed within the visor's shell. A vanity mirror is disposed within an opening in the shell and attaches to the plate member via heat stake technology. The plate member doubles as a conventional “core member,” thereby obviating the latter. The plate member is slanted relative to the shell and creates a cavity into which the vanity mirror fits. The vanity mirror is thereby attractively recessed within the opening. No adhesives or fasteners are used to secure the upholstery cover to the visor shell around the opening. Instead, the upholstery cover partially covers the opening and is stretched and securely held in place between the back of the vanity mirror and the plate member.
