A sunshade panel is mounted on a support rod by an improved bearing assembly which permits the sunshade to pivot about the rod and to slide axially along the rod. The bearing assembly includes the support rod with a splined shaft and a sunshade carrier which encircles the support rod in radially spaced relation from the support rod. The sunshade panel is mounted on the sunshade carrier. A low friction slide element is interposed in the space between the carrier and the support rod. The slide element is preferably a VELCRO-like material including a base of plastic or fabric and a plurality of radially projecting resiliently flexible friction fingers which project to fill the radial space and enable sliding movement of the sunshade panel relative to the support rod by virtue of the frictional slip and resilient flexure of the fingers. Rotating movement of the carrier relative to the rod is permitted by flexing and compression of the resilient fingers relative to the splined shaft to adjust the rotary position of the sun visor. The fingers of the slide element readily accommodate dimensional irregularities between the shape of the carrier and the support rod.
