Instead of this, the engaged claw portion 42 may be provided on the visor cover 22 and the lower cover 26, and the engaging claw portion 52 may be provided on the visor body 16. In this case, the engaging claw portion 52 provided on the upper portion of the visor body 16 extends from the visor body 16 toward the front of the vehicle, and extends upward as the inclined portion 62 of the engaging claw portion 52 moves toward the front of the vehicle. The On the other hand, the engaging claw portion 52 provided at the lower portion of the visor body 16 extends from the visor body 16 to the front of the vehicle, and extends downward as the inclined portion 62 of the engaging claw portion 52 goes to the front of the vehicle.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the main assembly hook portion 56 and the temporary assembly hook portion 64 are connected by the connecting piece 60 and formed integrally. Alternatively, the main assembly hook 56 and the temporary assembly hook 64 may be formed separately. For example, the main assembly hook portion 56 is omitted from the engagement claw portion 52, and the engagement claw portion 52 in which the main assembly hook portion 56 is formed is separately provided on the visor cover 22 and the lower cover 26, and a separate engagement is provided. An engaged claw portion 42 corresponding to the claw portion 52 may be newly provided in the visor body 16.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the temporary assembly position with respect to the assembly position of the visor cover 22 is set in front of the vehicle and on the other side in the first cross direction, and the temporary assembly position with respect to the assembly position of the lower cover 26 is in front of the vehicle and second. It is set on the other side in the crossing direction. Instead, the temporary assembly position of the visor cover 22 or the lower cover 26 may be set in front of the vehicle with respect to the assembly position. That is, the moving direction from the temporary assembly position of the visor cover 22 or the lower cover 26 to the assembly position may be set to only one direction (rear of the vehicle). For example, the temporary assembly position of the lower cover 26 may be set in front of the vehicle with respect to the assembly position, and the temporary assembly position of the visor cover 22 may be set in front of the vehicle and on the other side in the first cross direction with respect to the assembly position. . Even in this case, the lower edge portion of the visor cover 22 and the flange portion 30 of the lower cover 26 can be separated from each other in the vertical direction. In this case, the inclined portion 62 of the lower cover 26 is formed to extend in the vehicle front-rear direction.

  In addition, the angle formed by the vehicle front-rear direction and the first crossing direction side and the angle formed by the vehicle front-rear direction and the second crossing direction one side in the present embodiment can be arbitrarily set.

Further, in the present embodiment, the first crossing direction one side is set to a direction inclined downward as it goes to the rear of the vehicle, and the second crossing direction one side is set to a direction inclined upward as it goes to the rear of the vehicle. However, the direction of the first cross direction one side and the second cross direction one side with respect to the vehicle longitudinal direction can be arbitrarily set. For example, when the visor cover 22 is disposed so as to constitute an inner portion in the vehicle width direction of the cover 20 and the lower cover 26 is disposed so as to constitute an outer portion in the vehicle width direction of the cover 20, one side in the first cross direction May be set in a direction that inclines outward in the vehicle width direction toward the rear of the vehicle, and one side in the second crossing direction may be set in a direction that inclines inward in the vehicle width direction toward the rear of the vehicle.
