Use your hand to fold down the sun visor, take out a flat-head screwdriver, and gently pry up the edge of the sun visor that is caught in the hook with the screwdriver. Once the right side is pried open, rotate the sun visor clockwise by about ninety degrees with your hand to remove it, and then proceed with replacement.

I've repaired the car sun visor pivot issue several times, mainly dealing with looseness or breakage. When working on it, first find a quiet place to park, turn off the engine before starting. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the sun visor and inspect the pivot area. If screws are loose, tighten them moderately – avoid excessive force to prevent plastic deformation. For cracked plastic, apply AB glue, press firmly for a few minutes, and wait until completely dry before reinstalling. Wear gloves during the process to avoid injuring yourself or damaging the headliner. After repair, test the flipping motion for smoothness; if stuck, check for excess glue and clean it. For prevention, regular interior dusting reduces component wear. A properly fixed sun visor won't obstruct vision while driving, significantly improving safety – but avoid attempting repairs on highways, opt for parking lots instead. Prepare tools in advance (pliers, spare screws) to avoid interruptions. Overall, this repair isn't difficult; patience and methodical work are key to preventing collateral damage.
