Tools Needed:
- Flat-head screwdriver
- Phillips-head screwdriver
- Replacement sun visor
Instructions:
1. Remove the Existing Sun Visor:
- Locate the two Philips-head screws that secure the sun visor to the vehicle's roof. They are usually located on the top and bottom of the visor.
- Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to loosen and remove these screws.
- After removing the screws, carefully pull the sun visor down from the roof until it comes off the mounting bracket.
2. Disconnect the Wiring:
- If your sun visor has any electrical components, such as a vanity mirror light, you will need to disconnect the wiring before removing the visor completely.
- Locate the wire connector or harness near the base of the sun visor.
- Press the release tab or squeeze the connector to release it, and then disconnect the wiring.
3. Remove the Sun Visor Bracket:
- Locate the sun visor mounting bracket on the vehicle's roof.
- There may be some plastic covers or caps on the bracket. Use a flat-head screwdriver to pry them off gently.
- Once the covers are removed, you will see another Phillips-head screw that secures the bracket.
- Use the Phillips-head screwdriver to loosen and remove this screw.
- The sun visor bracket should now be loose and can be removed from the roof.
4. Install the New Sun Visor:
- Position the new sun visor bracket onto the vehicle's roof, aligning it with the mounting holes on the roof.
- Secure the bracket with the Phillips-head screw that you removed earlier.
- Connect any electrical components, if applicable.
- Insert the new sun visor's mounting posts into the bracket.
- Secure the sun visor by tightening the Philips-head screws at the top and bottom.
5. Test the Sun Visor:
- Open and close the sun visor to ensure that it is installed securely and moves smoothly.
- Confirm that any electrical components, such as the vanity mirror light, are working properly.
Remember to follow the specific instructions provided in your vehicle's owner's manual or workshop guide to ensure accuracy and safety during the replacement process.
