How to Remove the Sun Visor on Golf 7?
2 Answers
Prepare the necessary tools for removing the car sun visor: a flathead screwdriver and a T-20 spline wrench, then open the car door. Fold down the sun visor, with the right side hooked in place. Take out the flathead screwdriver and gently pry the sun visor out of the hook. After prying open the right side, rotate the sun visor clockwise by about 90 degrees with your hand. Then, use the flathead screwdriver to gently pry off the small cover. The screw is used to secure the sun visor. Take out the T-20 spline wrench and use it to remove this screw.
I've been driving my Golf 7 for almost three years now, and I often remove the sun visor myself to replace the mirror or clean stains. It's quite easy to get the hang of. You'll need to prepare a small flat-head screwdriver or a plastic pry bar. Near the sun visor pivot close to the roof, find a small plastic cover and gently pry it open to reveal the screw. Once you unscrew it, the sun visor can be slowly pulled outward by hand. Be careful as it's held by several plastic clips—don't use excessive force to avoid breaking them. If the sun visor has a light, there will be a wire connector inside; just unplug it gently. Before reinstalling, I recommend lubricating the clips and pivot area to ensure smoother operation and reduce wear. The whole process takes about ten minutes, but patience is key—don't rush it. If a clip breaks, replacements are cheap and easy to find online. Doing it yourself not only saves money but also helps you understand your car's structure better. Developing a habit of regular inspections can extend its lifespan and prevent malfunctions.
