Video: VW Sunvisor & Visor Clip Installation

Video Overview:

A very simple installation that can make a big difference for your VW Interior. Especially if your sunvisors are flopping around as you drive. Follow along with one of our techs as he shows you how to install new sunvisors in your VW.

Removing the old Sunvisors & Clips:

At the Visor Clips:
With a suitable screwdriver (most commonly a Phillips head) remove each screw holding the clip in place. Then twist the clip 90 degrees (left or right, it doesn't matter) and remove the clips.

At the Visor Hinge:
With a suitable screwdriver (most commonly a Phillips head) remove the 2 screws (per visor) at the outside mount and remove the visors.

Installing the New Sunvisors & Clips:

Installing the Sunvisor Clips:
Make sure you have the correct clip for the side you are installing.

With the clip aligned vertically press it in place and then rotate it
90 degrees until the screw hole is aligned.

Install the screw and repeat for the opposite side.

Installing the Sunvisors:

Make sure you have identified the left and right visors.

The left visor will have a shorter notch at the bottom edge
(when folded down) for the rear view mirror.

The right visor has the longer notch.

Insert the mounting post into place
and install the two screws to hold the visor.

This is the most overlooked and crucial step!
Rotate the visor into place to line up with the clip and twist the visor away from the mount until it the plastic post lines up in the clip. Repeat for the opposite side and go enjoy a sunset drive without the sun in your eyes!

Video Transcript:

Alright today for a very quick video, we're gonna show you how to install our sun visors and visor clips. This is something that's not needed for this restoration currently but it is a question that we get asked often so were gonna go and show you how to install the visors today. Alright on the sun visors there is a left side visor and a right side visor. If you notice the cut out here on the left versus the cutout on the right. This is for the rear view mirror in the orientation as it sits in the car. Also on the clips there is a right clip and a left clip as well. Alright we're already gone through and pulled out the passenger-side sun visor and clip. Where it's just three screws one for the clip. Rotate the clip ninety degrees and pull it out. Save the screw. Two clips for the visor itself. Our sun visors and clips are now out, again save the screws. To install the visor clip, insert it in the hole at ninety degrees and then twist down. Do the same thing for left and right. Then install the screws that you saved, or replace them with new if needed. Sun visor, we know its the drivers side because it has the shorter of the two cut outs, pop the visor up in place. Reuse the two screws to hold the mount back up in place. Out of the box, the metal mounting rod for the sun visors are pressed all the way in. When you install a sun visor the post may not necessarily meet up with the clip. You can twist the metal rod away from the sun visor completely until it comes out. It's not a big issue if it does just press it back in. Twist it out until that clip and the visor line up. There you can see the reason for the short cut out versus the long cut out. Short side, long side. We now have two brand new sun visors and clips installed and everything lines up as it should.
