A visor assembly for a vehicle includes a visor body comprising adjacent hingedly connected panels each fabricated of a polarizing material. A closure is provided to hold the adjacent panels in a closed configuration. The assembly may further include an articulating mirror assembly whose movement is independent of any movement of the visor assembly.

A plastic glazing of a tailgate of a vehicle is provided, the plastic glazing comprising a translucent component, wherein a portion of the translucent component forms a rear window of the vehicle, a colored component molded onto the translucent component in a second shot, wherein the colored component comprises a lens of a light unit, a non-transparent component molded onto the translucent component, wherein an overlapping portion of the translucent component and the non-transparent component forms a blackout region proximate to the rear window, wherein the plastic glazing is of one-piece molded plastic construction, wherein the translucent component comprises a first textured surface in a region adjacent to the blackout region, where the first textured surface is configured to conceal a component of the vehicle.

To suppress deterioration in a wiping property of wipers and increase in a load on the wipers. In glass for vehicles (1) including a light blocking region, a far-infrared ray transmission region is formed in the light blocking region, the far-infrared ray transmission region being provided with an opening (19) and a far-infrared ray transmission member (20) disposed in the opening (19), and the glass for vehicles (1) and the far-infrared ray transmission member (20) are bonded to each other with a frame member (30) interposed therebetween. Regarding the frame member (30), where a length of the longest straight line among straight lines each connecting optional two points on an inner circumference on a side facing the opening (19) in a surface on a vehicle exterior side is D, and a thickness of a portion projecting from a surface on the vehicle exterior side of the glass for vehicles (1) is t, D.sup.2/t is larger than 1250, and t is equal to or smaller than 2.5 mm.

A switchable laminated glazing comprising two stacks of components with different lamination parameters, a first stack of components which provides the mechanical protection of the glazing, and a second stack of components with variable light transmission.

A lighting apparatus formed from a translucent cylindrical foam tube such as a white “pool noodle” that is soft, flexible, and resilient and has a flexible electrically powered internal illumination source such as an LED strip bearing multiple LEDs extending through its interior. The lighting apparatus is typically provided with electricity via a plug adapted for insertion into an automobile cigarette lighter socket, and is readily positioned along the interior edges of an automobile window for illumination of areas where window tint/film is being applied to the window. The lighting apparatus can also have a self-contained power source and be connected in series for added versatility and utility.

A laminated vehicle glazing with includes a first extraclear glass sheet forming an exterior glazing, a lamination interlayer and a second glass sheet forming an interior glazing with a traversing hole in these last two.
