How to Remove the Sun Visor of a Magotan?

Prepare the necessary tools for removing the car sun visor: a flat-head screwdriver and a T-20 spline wrench. Then, open the car door and get ready to start the removal process. Fold down the sun visor by hand. Begin by removing the right side that is hooked in place. Use the flat-head screwdriver to gently pry up the edge of the sun visor that is hooked in. After prying open the right side, rotate the sun visor clockwise by about 90 degrees with your hand. Use the flat-head screwdriver to gently pry off the small cover. Make sure to keep the removed small cover safe. Next, you will see a small screw inside that secures the sun visor. Take out the T-20 spline wrench and use it to remove this screw.
I've disassembled sun visors from several cars, including my friend's Magotan, so let me share some experience. Before starting, prepare tools like a small flat-head screwdriver or dedicated pry tools. First, turn off the car's power to prevent short circuits, then sit in the driver's seat and observe the edge seam at the top of the sun visor where clips are embedded in the roof lining. Gently insert the screwdriver into one corner of the clip slot, avoiding brute force but slowly twisting to loosen it. Once you feel it give, repeat the process on the other side. When removing the entire visor, do it gently to avoid pulling on the mirror's wiring. After removal, you can clean dust or replace bulbs. When reinstalling, align the clips and press firmly until you hear a click. DIY saves hundreds, but requires patience - I once rushed and broke a clip, costing me dozens to replace, a lesson well learned.
Last time I learned how to remove the Magotan sun visor, and online tutorials were a great help. The steps are simple: first, turn off the power to avoid electric shock, locate the slot where the roof connects to the sun visor, and use a flashlight for better visibility. Insert a plastic pry tool into the gap and gently pry up one end—avoid using metal tools to prevent scratching the interior. Once the clip is loosened, repeat the process on the other side. After all clips are released, gently remove the entire panel without pulling on the wires. If you need to clean or repair it, removing it makes the job easier. Putting it back is even simpler: align the clips with their slots and push firmly to secure them in place. The whole process takes about half an hour, saving money and time. Beginners can do it with basic tools—no complex equipment needed.
Safe disassembly is crucial. After disconnecting the power, locate the clips and gently pry them open with appropriate tools. Avoid forceful pulling to prevent interior damage or electrical issues. Test the fixation after completion.
