- Here's how to remove/replace a Honda visor. This one happens to be for a 2008 Accord, but this type is used across many vehicle models and for many years.
Edit/Update: I shot this in one take and never thought even 100 people would watch it. I'm amazed at the amount of views. Leave a comment if it helped.
I performed this on my 2010 Honda Pilot. I spent a few minutes watching this video, then spent about 2 minutes removing the old and replacing with a new. The visual and explanation made for smooth sailing. Thanks!
I just did this very thing on my 2011 pilot it was a 5 min job
Great short video. Unlike many car wiring connector videos. Video shows exactly how the clip works. Thank you.
Thank you for taking off the visor and showing specifically the spot where the screwdriver goes, That makes it so much easier to connect and disconnect. 😊
2023 and still a relevant video. Just bought our daughter a used 2008 accord. Every older Honda we drove, including this one had a sagging driver's side visor. I would have NEVER figured out how to swap this and probably would have broken something. So, THANK you for an easy video!
I never ever thought this would be as watched as it has been. Glad it helped!
I tried it on my 2013 Honda Accord. Works like a charm. I spent 10 minutes watching this video over and again... spent 1 minute removing it... THANKS!!!!
You are a danged genius! It took two seconds! This visor was always sagging down in front of my face every time I hit a small bump... ordered a new Honda visor and it was so easy after watching your video! I would have messed with it for 5 months with out the video. Cheers!
Did you replace the entire sun visor or just that part that clips in?
@@tombutcher5776 -- I did the exact replacement that the video demonstrated... the whole visor with electrical connector. Cheers...
@@tombutcher5776 The whole thing.
Easy peasy. Sunvisor in daughter's 2008 Honda Accord had been broken for several years. Finally had enough when I went to drive it yesterday. I came in the house, search for a video, found yours, went back out to the car to remove the visor, drove to the junkyard, pulled one out of a wrecked Accord for $7, drove back home and washed it up, then installed it. Process from searching the video to final installation less than an hour. Thank you!
Thanks for the easy explanation. I just had my 2009 headliner replaced. The installer must not have relatched the visor properly as it fell the first time it was used for the side setting. I watched this video and placed it back in, as described, being sure to push the visor toward the windshield. Now it's as good as new!
My goodness you saved me. Thanks. I was utilizing other videos where nobody explains this portion. You need to basically prep it before you start installing it. They don't show that in other videos !!! Thanks
100% this. Once I staged the three prongs by rotating them the visor went in easy!!
This video is so much clearer than a couple other out there! Thanks!
Thanks much.
Man oh man, thank you kindly for showing me how to fix my darn visor!! Thing right fell in my lap like it gave up the ghost one darn hot day, and here I go putting my sweat, blood and tears into forcing the darn thing back into the hole it done crawled loose from, when what I really was needing was just a little fingertip finesse to ease the sucker into place, doggone it!!! Thank you again, good sir, for passing on this subtle, yet much needed knowledge to the Masses.
Glad it helped! Sometimes that tab gets damaged and it keeps falling out. If it happens again, search for 'Fix a Honda Visor that keeps falling out of the roof'.
@@rothbj1 I shall most definitely do exactly that if'n it was to find itself back on the hang, good sir. A kind thank you once again seems in order now, don't it. Well I do thank you.
Amazing job on your video... i wish you were the director of all of the "how to's" online. You are the SPIELBERG of instructional videos
This is the best honda sun visor removal and replacement video to be made, without the visual explanation, i could not of done it. I very difficulty removed it, but you helped me so much with installing a new one in. i just couldnt figure it out. Thank you
Thank you! Getting mine out was *still* tricky - it would have been impossible without this video. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you thank you thank you! I’ve had this thing hanging down for months. Nobody could figure it out. Even a mechanic couldn’t help me. Watched your video and had it fixed in 10 minutes!!!
I never imagined this many people would see this video. I shot it in one take and wasn't even sure it would help anyone at all. It makes my day when it helps someone fix their visor themselves. Thanks for leaving a comment!
Excellent explained! It took me only 2 minutes to replace the sun visor on Honda cr-v 2019. Thank you!
My visor would also fall because that tab wasn’t fully in place, such an easy fix.
Best tutorial on Honda visor removal by far. Thanks for saving me the headaches!!!!
You saved my life!! This visor dropped off of my husband new car and I panicked for some time there trying to figure out how I could put it back. Was preparing myself to face my husband's wrath(it's a new car F.Y.I). Till I found this video!!! OMG!!! Thank you so much!!!
"wrath"??? A broken visor is the least of your concern...
Pushing that clip in was a real challenge (for me), but I finally got it to move by using a mirror and looking into the car at the clip opening through the windshield. My wife sat in the drivers seat and pulled the visor back toward her (and thus the driver's side window) little by little, while I worked the clip with a long (9 inch), thin flathead screwdriver (counterintuitively, as I started out assuming a short one would have to be used). Before each push of the screwdriver, I first positioned it using the mirror, then put down the mirror and used both hands to apply the pressure in and forward towards the "wall." Interestingly, once it moved a small amount, my wife was able to move the visor back ("reload") without dislodging the now partially "submerged" clip, and then pull it back again, very slowly, as I positioned the screwdriver tip and then pushed the clip in - and under - one final time. As rothbj1 stated in the video, the visor literally fell out of the ceiling. Removing the electrical coupling and then installing the new visor was simple: Just reattached the coupling, positioned the mechanism into the ceiling (it fit snuggly once the pole and triple prong thing slipped into their respective slots, which are easy to see looking up into the empty hole) and gently pushed the visor toward the windshield. Once I heard that click, I knew my work was done. Thanks for the great video; it helped a LOT!!
Glad it helped. Always happy to see comments from people that found it useful. I never thought this many people would watch this...
@@rothbj1 🤣
I have a question. Most frustrations and of course it would be....is the floppy or loose visors.
Mine is the opposite. The driver side with way more usage....become stove up very difficult to lower and put back.
Whhhhhy 😭?
@@barbaraday1 Never seen one that gets stiffer. Most get too floppy and dangle down.....
@@rothbj1 I have had 2 vehicles do that. And I'm no heavy weight❗I thought that maybe I can adjust it somehow. Maybe I will just call the dealership to see if they have heard of that....not gonna buy one yet.
I watched many a video on how to fix a visor on my 2017 Honda CRV before landing here. Clearly this video is the best of the lot. Armed with this information the visor was out and in within 10 minutes total. Thanks.
Thanks. Can't believe how many have watched this and commented.
Thanks! It was real hard to find that little hole. Never would've found it otherwise.
thank you for helping a 76 year old change the visor,Aloha.
Aloha! Comments make my day.
Very grateful for your advice. I had a big problem to place the visors of my honda pilot 2014 since the upholsterer could not put them. Solved Jedi of sunvisors.
Thanks for this. Allowed us to get ours off our 19 pilot to try to get it to not be an arm wrestling match to get it pushed back up to the ceiling after lowering it. With some ingenuity we got the spring clamp to loosen and hopefully It will work like the passenger side one does.
Thank you For making Life easier today
Thanks a million. Super easy to uninstall and reinstall a new one. This is the second visor in 30k miles so you think they would fix this issue. But thanks to you the labor is free!
I just used it on my 2018 Honda CRV. Thank you for your amazing video. Worked perfect!
This video helped me a lot, thank you. I am from Brazil 🇧🇷
Ok
After all the videos on how to remove and install the sun visor yours was the best. So why is that?
Everyone else’s visor video was basically the same but you said get a stool and place by the door.
That made it possible for me to see the latch and see if it was turning.
I had struggled for over a two hours last night. 😡🤯🤬
Then this morning I watched your video and had the old one out and the new one, it took about 15 minutes.
Thank you so much.
Great video, just the right explanation, it still took a bit of time and waking up my neighbors after accidentally honking the car a few times lol 😊
Direct and to the point.Took me less then 10 minutes to do.Thanks.
Rothbj, thanks so much for posting this . Just replaced the passenger visor on my wife's 2011 Accord and it worked great! Be blessed!
Thank you very much!!🎉. I almost caught a cramp trying to push it back in by force 😂😅
Thabks for this. Changing a headliner on a 2017 MDX. Couldn't figure this visor out
Thank you I have been waiting to remove this visor for two years. Couldn’t find a decent video explaining how to do it until I ran into yours. I wanted to take it off before ordering a new just to see if I could fix it and reinstall it. From the looks of my visor I’m going to have to replace it. It hangs dong a bit. It won’t sit back up flush with the head liner. They are stupid expensive. If someone could tell me where I could get another one cheap but new I would appreciate it. Most of the cabin components I see at junk yards they are dirty and smells moldy from someone leaving the windows open or shattered windshields .
Just replaced mines easily thanks to your help, thank you so much brotha
Had a heck of a time trying to get the tab down. No leverage, bad angle, etc. I ended up using a stubby screwdriver with a square bit for more surface area contact with the tab.
This was extremely helpful
Whoever reading this remember
Push the tab to the side not just directly inside
Helpful with 2018 Honda CRV visor replacement. Thanks!
Thanks for making this. Just working on a new crv changing headliner and it has these clips. 👍🏻
Thank you so much, u explained AND showed it all which helped me out everything together. Had a hard time putting it back in but I plug it and THEN install and turned which I was doing backwards. You the man bro!
Now you know the secret! 😂
Thanks. What a pain in the arse removing it. This was a big help
thank u bro! I spent alot of stress trying to put it back in
Great help, so easy. It took me two min to replace my broken sunvisor with a second hand one bought from the Internet. As he says, once you know the secret its very easy.
Thank you for saving me a trip to the dealer. A month after we bought the car we moved the visor to the door side and it fell off. It seems they didn't lock it back into place during production. I was dreading going to the dealer and having to wait 2hours even if it's still under warranty.
I had something similar happen on another Honda visor. The tab had gotten all mangled by a previous owner and wouldn't stay in place. I drilled a 1/16th hole in it and threaded in a 2-56 machine screw. That fixed it.
Within the past two weeks, I've rented two different CR-Vs, and the visor literally fell out in both of them when I went to turn it to the door side.
With the help of your video, I changed my 2013 Honda Pilot visor in 60 seconds! Thanks for posting.
I can’t believe how many times this has been watched. Thanks for commenting.
Wonderful! I couldn't figure it out and you helped me avoid a lot of frustration! Thanks!
Thanks a million, YOU mage it happen!!! I almost lost my mind 👍🏻👍🏻😀👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻🙏🙏
Thank you, just replaced my wife’s visor
Still ended up pulling the damn thing out, but appreciated the video nonetheless. Thank you.
I would like to say thanks to you for this kind information
Thanks for this video. That tab was a bit difficult pushing in. I started with a standard, small flat head, but then switched to an offset screwdriver which had a thicker head. It was still hard pressing that tab in, but I got it. I've owned a 1990 and 1995 Honda with over 250,000 miles and currently own a 2004 Honda with 257,000 miles. NEVER had this problem with any of those cars. Did Honda change the way they manufactured these visors for the 7th gen? Got mine at BK Honda for $125 (including tax). This is a fair amount of money for something that shouldn't have failed after 10 years (on my 2014 Honda Accord).
Thank u.. I was trying to take off the sunvisors from an accord 16 and it was the same, im finally done.. Thanks alot...
Wanted to add my thank you for your thoughtful and helpful video!
Thx! Quick and straight to the point.
Very straightforward explanation. 👍
Another thank you! Concise and complete info!
Thanks. A bit tricky and a bigger screwdriver than the one you used but it worked!
I don’t know if mine won’t rotate enough but it’s still a pain to get out. Wish I could see a video with it still in the vehicle coming out
Hi there, thanks for the video.. however, mine having a bit different problem than this. The base plastic that suppose to rotate now came off/out of alignment, and it is stucked. Any chance it could be fix? I try to press/force it back to the original position, but im struggled and worry it might break any internal plastic parts. Thanks dude.
Did you ever figure out how to twist that piece? Mine is stuck as well. Too smooth to get pliers on.
Thanks for the video! I just changed my Honda Pilot 2018 Sun visor driver side. It helped me a lot! 😊
Thank you so much man
Watched video, visor fixed on the first try, thanks.
You saved my day. Thank you so much sir 🙏👍
Thanks a lot. Great stool outside door leaning back trick👍😉
Thank you! Im removing the headliner and this video saved me from breaking the visor lol
Best explanation
Best video explanation ever. 👍
The video I needed! Thanks
Thanks bro it was a pain in the ass but I got it thanks to you
Thanks a lot ❤ , you saved my life
Excellent explanation, thanks!
Very helpful video made it a simplie task❤
after spending a 1/2 hour trying to figure out how, decided to TH-cam it, vayla, out it came, thanks 😷
Actually good!!!
thank you very much i benefited a lot from this video
Thank you! Was able to remove it thanks to you.
Thanks I was about to snap it off!!
Thanks for your video. I just replaced my visor.
Perfect! Thanks for posting
Thanks for your help. We got it!
Thank you for this. My driver side visor had a short in it.
Thank you! Totally worked. Just replaced it while watch
perfect video. no nonsense. thank you.
Thank you!!!! This video just saved me so much time and frustration. Haha
Thank you kind sir!
Very helpful, thanks!
This will be a silly question... but how do you rotate it back into place if the post is in place?
The post fits into a hole in the roof. Your rotating the visor back (like normal). This causes the 3 - pronged feature to rotate and lock it all up in the roof. Kind of like locking a deadbolt.
Worked on a 2016 CRV, thank you!
I'm having a hard time getting mine out. My sun visor is 14 years old. Would squirting DW40 into the notch work?
I wouldn't do that. Once you get the tab under the edge (like at 0:30), try pushing on the 'wall' of the tab to push it underneath, and hopefully unlocked. It may help the push the whole assembly upward into the roof to relieve a little tension on the locking feature.
Very helpful!
Video is factually correct except one thing. When putting it in it does not simply click into place. Took me two hours and screwdriver prying and turning the visor at the same time to finally get it to lock into place.
Any advice on where to buy a new one - I've tried amazon and ebay and googled it - but can't find a good one for a 2007 honda pilot...
I got mine at the dealers parts department. Wasn't cheap though.
Thank you!
Amazing
I've had two fall out while driving (2010 Accord, 2018 RDX). The tab actually broke off in both cases. Kinda sucks but at least you can replace it yourself and avoid paying the dealer.
Thanks man, you are a genius.
You’re awesome, thanks!
Do you know if the visors for the 2013-2017 Accord would physically fit in a 2014 Civic? I'm trying to upgrade mine.
Don't know for sure, but if the mechanism is the same as shown here, I'd venture there is a very good chance. The one shown was from a 2008.
Very very useful video ✅️✅️✅️
