Abstract

A visor for vehicles and the like includes a core made of a meltable material. The core includes first and second halves that are interconnected by a connecting arrangement that includes posts that are frictionally received in openings. The posts may form an interference fit with the openings, such that the visor core material melts as the posts are pressed into the openings to thereby weld the core material at the connectors together and interconnect the halves of the visor core.
