Abstract
A modular sun visor includes a visor bezel having a center support rod, an elbow rod subassembly, and a visor blade. The visor bezel is pivotally and slidingly attached to the elbow rod subassembly, which is configured to be attached to the interior of a vehicle. The center support rod of the visor bezel is selectively attachable to the vehicle at a center support. The visor blade is chosen from an inventory of differently sized visor blades, any one of which is attachable to the visor bezel. When a sun visor is required for a different make or model of vehicle, only the visor blade is changed; thus, production and inventory costs are reduced.
