Description
Driver’s sun visor with mirror for Peugeot 406. Used part – possible contamination – cleaning required.
This left (driver side) sun visor is an OEM used component for Peugeot 406 models and is often searched by part number 8143GH. Ideal for professional workshops and DIY mechanics who need a direct-fit replacement for a worn or damaged visor. As a genuine used part, it offers original fit, finish and mounting points, saving time on modifications compared with universal aftermarket visors.
Compatibility And Application
Fits Peugeot 406 (Passenger Car) — commonly used across model years of the 406 range. Confirm fit by matching the mounting style and part number 8143GH. Typical applications include sedan and estate body styles where the left/driver sun visor uses the same mounting bracket and dimensions.
How The Part Functions
The sun visor provides glare protection for the driver and includes an integrated vanity mirror. It attaches to the roof header with a pivot bracket that allows rotation and stowage. The visor shell and internal foam provide shape and surface finish; the mirror offers convenience for driver-side checks.
Replacement Procedure (General Guide)
Replacement is straightforward for a trained mechanic or competent DIYer. Typical steps:
- Remove any decorative caps on the visor mounting plate.
- Unscrew the mounting screws while supporting the visor to avoid dropping it.
- If present, disconnect any electrical connector for illuminated mirrors (verify visually before unplugging).
- Remove the old visor and swap with the replacement, align the bracket and tighten screws to manufacturer torque where available.
- Refit decorative caps and test pivot action and mirror condition.
Installation Recommendations
Always handle the visor carefully to avoid scratching the mirror or covering. Use the correct screwdriver to prevent cam-out of mounting screws and ensure clips and screw threads are intact before final assembly. If an electrical connector is present, inspect wiring for corrosion and secure any retained clips. Test the visor pivot and mirror after installation to confirm correct operation.
Most Common Failure Reasons
Sun visors typically fail due to mechanical wear of the pivot or bracket, foam deterioration inside the visor causing sagging or surface deformation, broken or missing mounting clips, or cosmetic damage and staining from smoke, oil, or dirt. Mirrors can crack or become detached from the visor backing. As a used part, expect signs of wear; cleaning and minor repairs to clips or fasteners are common.
