Exact catalogue compatibility

Where it fits
The visor pivots down to reduce direct glare through the windscreen and can swing toward the side glass where the vehicle mounting permits. It also carries the vanity mirror and sliding cover. Where the vehicle is equipped with an illuminated mirror, the visible contact arrangement forms part of that lighting circuit. It does not control the engine, restraint system or vehicle electronics beyond the visor/mirror function.
Symptoms that may indicate replacement is required
Loose or dropping visor
The visor will not hold its selected position, falls while driving or moves excessively at the pivot.
Broken mount or hinge
Cracks, missing trim, damage around the mounting point, rattling or inability to rotate correctly.
Mirror or cover damage
Cracked mirror, missing or jammed sliding cover, damaged mirror housing or poor closure.
Lighting fault if equipped
Vanity light does not operate because of damaged contacts, wiring or the visor's switching mechanism. Diagnose the circuit before replacing parts.
Fitting guide, tools and estimated time
Suggested tools
- Plastic trim-removal tool.
- Correct screwdriver bit or small socket to match the fastener already fitted to your car.
- Protective cloth or masking material for adjacent trim.
- Small magnetic pick-up tool, optional.
- Multimeter, optional, when diagnosing an illuminated-mirror fault.
Estimated labour time
Typical straightforward replacement: approximately 10-20 minutes.
Allow longer for diagnosis, damaged trim, seized or incorrect fasteners, wiring repairs, prior modifications or poor access. This is an estimate, not a fixed quotation.
General replacement sequence
- Park safely, switch off the ignition and remove the key. Protect the surrounding headlining and windscreen trim.
- Before removal, compare the replacement visor with the installed unit: part number, left side, colour, mirror, mount and electrical-contact arrangement must match.
- Lower the existing visor. Carefully release the mount cover using a plastic trim tool without marking the headlining.
- Identify the fitted fastener and remove it with the correct tool. Support the visor as the mount is released.
- Disconnect the electrical connection/contact assembly where fitted. Do not pull on wiring.
- Connect the replacement, seat the mount squarely in the original location and refit the original fastener. Tighten securely without overtightening into the roof/header structure.
- Refit the trim cover. Test the visor through its full travel, confirm it holds position and test the mirror cover and vanity light where equipped.
