Abstract

A vanity mirror package for a visor includes snap-fastening connectors extending from the mirror frame toward a recess formed in the visor body. The visor body includes a floor with connectors which cooperate with the snap-fastening connectors of the mirror frame such that the vanity mirror package is self-aligning during assembly and can be inserted and removed by flexing one of the connectors without contacting the visor upholstered material or deforming the mirror frame.
