How to Remove the Sun Visor of Magotan B8?
2 Answers
First, prepare the necessary tools for removing the car sun visor: a flat-head screwdriver and a T-20 spline wrench. After prying open the right side, rotate the sun visor clockwise by about ninety degrees with your hand. At this point, you will see a small white cover on the left side of the sun visor. After removing the screws, hold the left side of the sun visor with your left hand and the right side with your right hand, then gently pull it downward, focusing on the left side.
Removing the sun visor on a B8 Passat isn't difficult - I've done it myself several times. First, turn off and stabilize the vehicle to avoid accidental power activation. Then extend the sun visor to its usage position - you'll find a small metal clip concealing the screw hole at the top. Use a thin flathead screwdriver to gently pry open the plastic protective cover, revealing a Phillips head screw that can be loosened by turning counterclockwise. After removing the screw, the visor can be slowly pulled out. Be careful not to use excessive force as there are wiring connections for the mirror light inside - damaging them would require electrical system repairs. The entire process takes about five minutes. Keep spare screws handy in case of loss or stripping. For maintenance, remember to periodically tighten the screws, especially in winter when plastic becomes brittle and more prone to cracking, making removal/installation easier. Doing it yourself saves both time and money compared to visiting a repair shop.
