Abstract
A sun visor assembly having a core member comprising an integral visor clip assembly. The sun visor is formed from either a substantially flat foundation that is folded unto itself, thereby forming two foundation halves, or from a pair of discreet foundation halves. The edge of the foundation, whether it comprises a single member folded unto itself or a pair of discreet halves, is shaped to correspond to the visor clip assembly, such that the foundation does not have to be cut-out to accommodate the visor clip assembly. This obviates the need to stretch and pull the upholstery cover through cutout portions in the foundation, thereby leading to a more efficient and less complex assembly of the sun visor.
