A sun visor monorail system, which includes a monorail mounted adjacent a window in a car or airplane cockpit and a sun visor which is selectively positionable along the monorail and selectively stowable away from the window or deployable next to the window, is provided with a gripping system for selectively releasing the sun visor from, and locking the sun visor onto, the monorail. The gripping system includes a first gripping member having a surface for contacting the monorail, a second gripping member having a surface opposed to the first member's surface for contacting the monorail and holding the monorail between the two surfaces, a mounting mechanism supporting the members, and a locking mechanism coupled to the members. The locking mechanism includes a cam mechanism for transforming a rotational force, applied by hand to the locking mechanism, into a gripping force applied to the monorail through the gripping members. The sun visor system is also provided with a rail stop mountable on the monorail, providing detented rotational positions allowing the sun visor to either be flipped up and away from the window or deployed in front of the window.
