Time to replace Sunvisors ? - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

GOLDCYLON · 11-26-2011

Ive been driving my fathers 96CE a lot while my car is being pieced together. So I was getting a little tired of my pops ratty dog earred sun visors. So I decided to replace them for him as an Early Christmas present.

I took a few photos so you can see what is involved. If your a NCRSer please check out of this thread now as these are not 100% correct replacements but they look pretty damn good. These are the $69.99 replacements you can get on Ebay lately.

Step 1.

After rmoving the roof you are faced with a small plastic plate cover which covers the spring threaded sunvisor rod. A T-10 bit is required. Once removing the 2 bolts pull up at angle from the corner of the windshied as this plate has two tuck under tabs

Step 2.

Now with the plastic plate out of the way remove the threaded nut that holds the visor to the roof. It comes off real easy. Make a note of how much thread is above the nut. When it comes to the install of the new visor if you overtighten on the reinstall the rod WILL snap.

Step 3.

This parts sucks as there is no easy way to do it and its in tight quarters. You need to take two small flat bladed screw drivers and try to pry up each side of this spring retainer cap upwards. The pot metal threads may complain a bit but it will come up and can easliy be reused when you install the new visors.

Step 4.

Now with the spring cap removed you can pull the small spring out exposing a bit of ole nasty GM grease but more importantly a naked and free sun visor thread rod. Now go inside the car and remove the closest trim screw surrounding the rod. There is one on the left and one on the right. Pictured here is one on the right.
