Installation recommendations

In general, it is advisable to proceed with caution when replacing the sun visor in the car interior, so as not to damage the plastic covers, attachment points or ceiling upholstery. The exact installation may vary depending on the specific model and equipment of the car.

1) Before assembly

Check that the new used part matches the old part in shape, fit, mounting side and color scheme.
Check the condition of the hinge and the resistance when tilting – the screen should hold the position without excessive play.
Check the condition of the mirror and any covers or plugs.
If the part is dirty, clean it before assembly itself.

2) Necessary tools and materials

Set of common hand tools
Suitable screwdriver or bits
Plastic pry bar for removing interior covers
Interior cleaner and clean cloth
Or gloves for clean handling of the work

3) Step-by-step assembly procedure

Park the vehicle in a safe place and make sure there is enough light in the interior.
Flip the original sun visor into the working position.
Carefully remove the mounting caps if present.
Loosen the fasteners of the old screen and hold the part so that it does not fall on the interior trim or dash.
Disconnect the old part from the holder or attachment depending on the car design.
Compare the removed part with the new sun visor, especially the attachment, orientation and overall dimensions.
Sit the used screen to the mounting location without using force.
Install the fasteners and tighten them evenly so that the screen fits properly.
Put back any plastic caps or snaps.
Test tilting, turning and overall grip strength.

4) Post-assembly checks and function verification
- Check whether the screen stays in the basic position even when folded.
- Verify that the joint does not show excessive play and the movement is smooth.
- Make sure that the mirror is undamaged and that the screen does not rub against the surrounding upholstery anywhere.
- In normal use, observe whether the attachment does not loosen.
5) The most common assembly mistakes + how to avoid them
- Swap the side – always check before fitting that it is a driver side visor.
- Damage to plastic covers – use a plastic pry bar instead of brute force.
- Improper placement of the diaphragm – check the position and fit of the part before tightening.
- Tightening the fastening – tighten with sensitivity to avoid damaging the plastic parts of the fastening.
Reasons why the part is damaged
- normal wear and tear from daily tilting and turning of the aperture,
- loosening or spraining the joint due to long-term use,
- mechanical damage due to careless handling,
- pollution of the interior and accumulation of dust or grease,
- damage to the mirror or the surface of the aperture when cleaning with inappropriate means.
