How to Replace a Sun Visor on a Car
- 1). Locate the sun visor mounting bracket in your car. Many brackets have a plastic cover that conceals the mounting screws.
- 2). Pry off the plastic cover with a flat-head screwdriver. Remove the cover carefully because the plastic is thin and may have hardened; it can easily crack and break.
- 3). Compare your replacement sun visor to your existing sun visor to make sure the mounting hardware hole pattern is the same. If your sun visor has a lighted mirror or a built-in transmitter, compare the wiring harness connections to make sure the new sun visor will be able to connect to your vehicle's wiring.
- 4). Determine if your sun visor is held in place with Phillips or Torx screws. Use the appropriate screwdriver to remove the screws. Put the screws and the plastic cover in a container so they don't get lost.
- 5). Disconnect the wiring harness from the sun visor if the visor has power accessories.
- 6). Remove the sun visor carefully from the headliner of your vehicle.
- 7). Position the replacement sun visor over the mounting holes and start the screws into the holes by hand. Once the screws are holding, tighten them with the appropriate screwdriver.
- 8). Connect any wiring harnesses from the new sun visor to the wiring harnesses on your vehicle.
- 9). Move the sun visor into all of its possible positions and verify that all electronic components work correctly.
