Abstract: A vehicle sun visor is provided. The sun visor includes a base portion, a vanity minor, and a lighting arrangement that includes a power source. The vanity minor and the lighting arrangement are each detachably coupled to the base portion. The sun visor also includes a charger that is configured to recharge the power source of the lighting arrangement when the lighting arrangement is coupled to the sun visor.

Abstract: A sun visor for a vehicle includes a visor body, a minor carried on the visor body and a cover overlying the minor. A control module controls operation of the cover and switches the cover between an opaque state wherein the mirror is hidden from view and a transparent state wherein the mirror is visible to view and available for use.

Abstract: A sun visor assembly is provided incorporating a magnetic detention system. That assembly includes a sun visor body, a ferromagnetic element held in that body and a permanent magnet in a headliner of the vehicle. The permanent magnet and the ferromagnetic element are aligned so that the body is attracted toward the headliner and positively held in a home position adjacent the headliner.

Abstract: A control system for controlling a position of a window and method thereof are provided. The control system includes a cover at least partially adapted to have a trough, the cover having a interior side and an exterior side, and a first proximity sensor adjacent to the interior side that is configured to detect an object within the first portion of the trough. The control system further includes a second proximity sensor adjacent to the interior side that is configured to detect the object within the second portion of the trough, and a processor in communication with the sensors, and configured to communicate a control signal to the window as a function of the detection of the sensors, wherein the control signal is based upon a most recent detection of the sensors when both sensors are activated within a first time period.
