Side Visor Installation

Larry decided to surprise me with his side visor install and thought it was a great idea after he said that it blocked all the tree shadows during the winter while driving up the parkway. Now I won't have to hold up my hand to the side of my head. :)

This is what the visor looks like.


Visor closeup of hooks. These were taken off with a rotary tool since cutting into the headliner might be a costly mistake if I puncture an airbag (again Larry's suggestion).


The two hooks taken off the back side of the visor with the rotary tool. Fairly flat now.

This is the driver's side handle. You pry the covers on the right and left side with a flat screwdriver. They come off fairly easily.


This is the handle with the screws showing. Just use any phillips screwdriver and take both off.



Headliner with the handle off.



Screwed back in and installed. Flat side goes forward and each of the visors have a L or a R on them to designate driver's - L, and passenger's - R sides. The lip of the visor should go on TOP of the handle. I accidentally reversed it when installing the passenger's side.

Placed back the covers and this is what it looks like down. It is out of the way when pushed up and barely noticable.
