A preassembled visor rod mount includes a bezel and a clamping ring rotatably movable with respect to the bezel to lock the mount in position once fitted within a socket formed in the roof. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the spaced tangs on the rotatable clamping ring include upwardly bent ends to cam the deflectable tangs over the roof edges. A pair of arcuate slots are provided through the bezel and a spanner wrench can be employed to extend through the bezel and engage apertures formed in the clamping ring for its rotation with respect to the bezel.
