A sunroof visor is to be installed in a vehicle including: the opening section formed on a roof portion; and a sunroof capable of freely opening the opening section. The opening section possesses an edge portion extending downward and having a thin-walled structure vertically composed of: corner edge sections as vertically short edges; slanted edge sections; and vertically elongated edge sections. The sunroof visor is to be fixed to the forward side of the opening section through brackets. Each bracket includes: an extended supporting portion extended forward from the opening section and used to fix the sunroof visor; and an engagement portion engageable with one vertically elongated edge section after being moved thereto from one corner edge section or slanted edge section, for coupling the sunroof visor. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A mounting structure of vehicular sunroof visor, for use in a vehicle having an opening section formed on a roof portion and a sunroof capable of freely opening and closing said opening section, comprising: a vehicular sunroof visor disposed on a forward side of said opening section; an edge portion provided in said opening section, said edge portion extending downward and being composed of at least one vertically short edge section and at least one vertically elongated edge section; and at least one bracket for fixing said vehicular sunroof visor to said opening section, wherein said at least one bracket includes: an extended supporting portion that is extended forward from said opening section and is used to fix said vehicular sunroof visor; and an engagement portion provided in a manner engageable with said at least one vertically elongated edge section serving as a location for coupling said vehicular sunroof visor, said engagement portion being engaged therewith after being moved thereto from said at least one vertically short edge section. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The mounting structure of vehicular sunroof visor according to claim 1, wherein said at least one vertically elongated edge section for engaging said engagement portion includes a lower edge formed forward and away from an inner surface of said opening section, and said at least one bracket further includes: a fitting portion that is formed below said extended supporting portion and substantially conforms with the inner surface of said opening section; and a lower extended portion formed between said fitting portion and said engagement portion. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The mounting structure of vehicular sunroof visor according to claim 1, wherein at least one slanted edge section is provided between said at least one vertically short edge section and said at least one vertically elongated edge section, said at least one slanted edge section slanting downward from said at least one vertically short edge section to said at least one vertically elongated edge section. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The mounting structure of vehicular sunroof visor according to claim 2, wherein at least one slanted edge section is provided between said at least one vertically short edge section and said at least one vertically elongated edge section, said at least one slanted edge section slanting downward from said at least one vertically short edge section to said at least one vertically elongated edge section. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The mounting structure of vehicular sunroof visor according to claim 1, wherein at least one fixing location for fixing said extended supporting portion to said vehicular sunroof visor is set away from said opening section in a forward direction. ### Claim 6 (depends on 2) The mounting structure of vehicular sunroof visor according to claim 2, wherein at least one fixing location for fixing said extended supporting portion to said vehicular sunroof visor is set away from said opening section in a forward direction. ### Claim 7 (depends on 5) The mounting structure of vehicular sunroof visor according to claim 5, wherein said at least one fixing location corresponds to a bracket through hole bored in said extended supporting portion, and at least one visor through hole corresponding to said bracket through hole is bored in said vehicular sunroof visor, said extended supporting portion being fixed to said vehicular sunroof visor through a fixation unit that is inserted through said bracket through hole and said at least one visor through hole. ### Claim 8 (depends on 6) The mounting structure of vehicular sunroof visor according to claim 6, wherein said at least one fixing location corresponds to a bracket through hole bored in said extended supporting portion, and at least one visor through hole corresponding to said bracket through hole is bored in said vehicular sunroof visor, said extended supporting portion being fixed to said vehicular sunroof visor through a fixation unit that is inserted through said bracket through hole and said at least one visor through hole. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The mounting structure of vehicular sunroof visor according to claim 7, wherein said extended supporting portion includes a visor attachment portion that is formed on an upper section thereof and conforms with an inner surface of said vehicular sunroof visor, said visor attachment portion having said bracket through hole bored therein. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The mounting structure of vehicular sunroof visor according to claim 8, wherein said extended supporting portion includes a visor attachment portion that is formed on an upper section thereof and conforms with an inner surface of said vehicular sunroof visor, said visor attachment portion having said bracket through hole bored therein. ### Claim 11 (depends on 5) The mounting structure of vehicular sunroof visor according to claim 5, wherein an elastic molding is sandwiched between an upper surface of said roof portion and said vehicular sunroof visor in a pressurized manner. ### Claim 12 (depends on 6) The mounting structure of vehicular sunroof visor according to claim 6, wherein an elastic molding is sandwiched between an upper surface of said roof portion and said vehicular sunroof visor in a pressurized manner. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The mounting structure of vehicular sunroof visor according to claim 1, wherein said engagement portion includes: a vertical lower portion provided on a lower end of a lower extended portion; a bended portion formed by curving a lower end of said lower portion outward and upward; and a folded-back portion slanting outward and upward from said bended portion, said folded-back portion having a chamfered section formed on upper left and right corners thereof. ### Claim 14 (depends on 2) The mounting structure of vehicular sunroof visor according to claim 2, wherein said engagement portion includes: a vertical lower portion provided on a lower end of said lower extended portion; a bended portion formed by curving a lower end of said lower portion outward and upward; and a folded-back portion slanting outward and upward from said bended portion, said folded-back portion having a chamfered section formed on upper left and right corners thereof.
