- Useful spare for workshops and DIY technicians—often identified by part numbers 8143VS / 8163CS / 8163LA.
Function And Typical Faults
The sun visor provides glare protection and houses a vanity mirror for the passenger. Typical failure modes are mechanical: worn or broken pivot/hinge, fatigued retaining clips, torn upholstery or delaminated foam, and damage to the mirror surface. These failures occur gradually with frequent use, stress from excessive force, or impact when removing/handling the visor.
Replacement Guide
Suitable for experienced DIYers and professional technicians. Typical replacement steps:
- Use appropriate trim tools to avoid damaging headliner or plastic trim.
- Remove the small trim cap or screw cover on the visor pivot and unscrew the retaining fastener(s).
- Carefully disengage any retaining clips and lower the visor assembly away from the mounting bracket.
- If equipped, disconnect any electrical connector (not applicable for this non-illuminated version).
- Fit the new visor by aligning the pivot and clips, then secure screws and snap trim caps into place. Check smooth movement and secure retention.
- Perform a final check for correct fit, mirror condition, and any rattles.
Installation Recommendations
Work on a clean, well-lit surface using panel removal tools to protect trim. Keep removed screws and caps safe to avoid losing original fasteners. Avoid excessive force when snapping clips into place to prevent breakage. If the headliner or surrounding trim shows wear, replace or repair those items concurrently to ensure a factory-quality finish.
Why This Part Fails Most Often
Frequent pivoting and stowing cause wear on the hinge and support clips. Excessive force (e.g., using the visor as a handle) or accidental impact can break mounting points. Prolonged exposure to heat and UV can degrade covering materials and adhesives, causing delamination or discoloration over time.

The part is a passenger-side sun visor (right-hand side in left-hand-drive vehicles). When fitting multiple interior parts, check surrounding trim and fasteners for wear to avoid future comebacks.
