Abstract
A movable visor assembly for a vehicle including a slotted support track for attachment to a supporting surface in the vehicle. The slot in the support track includes opposed visor guide surfaces and a channel in at least one of the guide surfaces. The visor blade has an aperture near each end of one side into which an alignment member, such as a ball bearing, can be mounted. The edge of the visor blade, including the alignment member, is slidably mounted in the slot in the support track with the alignment members in the channel. The alignment members enable the visor blade to slide freely in the support track without binding, even if the support track is flexed and twisted as installed in the vehicle.
