Abstract
A vehicle sun visor assembly (10) that is designed to be installed by an original equipment manufacturer or after it has been purchased. The assembly (10) consists of a sun visor rod (12) that extends from a position above and near the center of a windshield, curves around the vehicle and terminates near the end of a vehicle side window. The rod (12) is attached to the vehicle by means of a rod/vehicle attachment assembly (32) which allows the rod to be horizontally and vertically positioned to accommodate the dimensions of a particular vehicle. A visor/rod attachment assembly (100) is used to slidably attach a sun visor (78) to the rod (12). The assembly (100) allows the sun visor to be placed and maintained in an upward, stowed position or in a downward position. In the downward position, the sun visor (78) can be moved from one end to the other end of the sun visor rod (12) to optimally position the sun visor (78) to block the sun's rays from the eyes of a driver or a passenger.
