How to Remove the Sun Visor of Volkswagen Lavida?
2 Answers
Prepare the tools needed for removing the car sun visor: a flat-head screwdriver and a T-20 spline wrench. Then, open the car door and get ready for the next steps of the removal process. Gently pry the edge of the sun visor stuck in the hook with the flat-head screwdriver. After prying open the right side, rotate the sun visor clockwise by about ninety degrees with your hand, and then use the flat-head screwdriver to gently pry off the small cover. Use the T-20 spline wrench to remove this screw. Gently pull it downward, and the sun visor will separate from the car's roof.
I used to help friends with their cars quite often, and removing the sun visor on a Volkswagen Lavida is a pretty common task. First, turn off the car's power and park in a safe spot. Open the sun visor and look for the small plastic cover at the base—gently pry it open to reveal a hidden screw. Use a small Phillips screwdriver to slowly unscrew it, being careful not to apply too much force to avoid stripping the threads. If the visor has lighting or mirror functions, the wiring harness will be behind it; carefully unplug the connector without pulling too hard to avoid damage. Once removed, you can clean the mirror or check the springs. Throughout the process, keep your hands steady to avoid touching the headliner, as it can easily get dirty or frayed. Having spare screws on hand is also a good idea in case one gets lost.
