The locking tab is the key! Hard to get to -- but positioning the visor to remove then getting the locking tab to click back in is the challenge. The connector was also a mystery until I watched this video. Just replaced mine -- and the video was worth gold! Thanks!
My visor snap and wouldn’t stay up anymore. It became so frustrating I almost broke it completely off. I ordered a replacement from Amazon and hopefully I can put it on thanks to this vid ☺️
@@DaddyCaldwell I can’t tell you what I did that fixed the trick. Because I know I did it a million times. The placement is tricky has to be exact, keep trying you’ll get it
anyone having trouble replacing it back into the car , in the beginning of the video remember how he moved the tabs w/ the screwdriver .. well do it again to new sun visor till tabs fit into roof of car
lol. Crazy! I ordered the visor online… An official Honda part, for about $70. It arrived today, and I struggled with trying to get the old one off for at least an hour. I could not! So I drove to the Honda dealership just now. They’re going to install it for $90. It’s better than the $300. They told me it would cost about a year ago. But wow is this ever crazy difficult!
Use a paint can key and a pair of adjustable needle nose plyers. You can position the paint can key against the tab and use the elbow from the old visor to squeeze against. Compresses easily and just turn the visor right off.
Honda was like. Hey we can't spend 1 cent on a screw, we'll just make it more probable for you to f#ck it up and buy us a new piece. I hope the engineer that. Designed this has a bad stomach for many years.
Mine has the tab like that. So, do I push in? Push dpwn? push towards the windshield or away? Which direction do I push? Trying to remove the DS by the way.
This question helped me so much. I'd seen another video that said to do it the other way, and to push the tab "down" which I took to mean towards the steering wheel and it was not working.
thanks for the advice. i guess if your installing a used one, then its probably be in the lock position. but normally the brand new one should already be in the unlock position.
I turn it away from the windshield. Its in normal position before you press the lock. Then while pressing the lock, start turning the visor away from windshield, at the same time, make sure your also pushing and turning the lock together with the sunvisor
I’m trying this, but having a hard time. Going to try a slightly bigger screwdriver because the one I have is tiny. I’m trying the gap thing, but it looks like you still have to press it pretty hard to get it to turn?
I'm struggling so hard with this right now. I'm chewing the hell out of that little knob because I can't get it to move no matter what position I have the visor in and what tool I'm using. 😭
I have pushed that little thing in with effort enough to cause concern I am damaging my roof fabric, and the metal slot this fits into. Yet it simply won't drop. Is there a trick im missing?
Im sorry to hear. But thats all the trick i have that always works for me. Maybe less frustration might work. Lol. Just kidding. This really is a bad design. I agree to everybody. The plastic after some time do get deformed and tends to bind. And during replacement time, its really hard for them to come out. Its possible that i did not have a hard time replacing this visor is because the plastic was still fairly new.
@@abcdeinformation3048 I did get it eventually...channel locks and some real twisting got it.. if the little prongs are not just right. This is a horrible design.
@@ryanq.1931 seriously! I think I fought with it for 45 minutes to get it out. It was unbelievable. They could have made that so much better. Installing the new one? 3 seconds flat 😂
While I manage to push that thing inside, it doesn't turn while I turn the visor. I try to push it towards the rotating side of the visor but nothing. It's a tough one...
It may, or it may not. If you squirt too much, it might get in to the swivel portion making it slide easier, and the friction needed so the locking tab would turn might be lost. I would say get a small squirt on a rag, then wipe it on the locking tab.
sorry but thats a customers car. i dont remember the exact year model. but they are pretty much the same. if theres no screw, the design is pretty much the same.
Mine fell out randomly when i tried to block the sun, idk how the hell you pushed this thing back into place? It's got 3 directional tabs on it? It don't just push in. Had the wire short out and spark when i tried
Hi. You'll get it if you actually watch the video. Yes there is some pressure you have to apply. But you dont push in the gap. You twist the visor to make a gap, then push on the tab. Good luck...
@@freeman573 get angry and ripped it out. Lol. Joke. Your sun visor is probably frozen now if your moving it around and the gap is not showing anymore. You can try to make your own gap though by stripping a little bit of that plastic off.

Watched a different video and fought with it for 10 minutes. Watched yours and got it immediately. Thank you.
I watched a couple of videos and was so lost. This helped me complete removal and install in less than 5 minutes. Thank you SO much
Thos is the ONLY VIDEO!!!!!! To tell u about that gap trick!!! That's EVERYTHING!!!!!!! thanks!!!!!!
The dealer service center asked me $96 (labor only) to install it. Thanks for the video and I will try it myself once I get the part 🤞.
Thats actually cheap. But its cheaper if you subscribe. Lol.
Yea it actually wasn't hard at all to to once you watched the video. But Honda wants $200 for a set of replacement visor. Like wtf😅
My visor snap and wouldn’t stay up anymore. It became so frustrating I almost broke it completely off. I ordered a replacement from Amazon and hopefully I can put it on thanks to this vid ☺️
Removing was the easiest part. I’m having the hardest time trying to match up the prongs and installing the new one.
Same here 🫠

I know this is a year late, but you have to “unlock” the new one as well then put the plug in the hole and twist to lock again
Great video! Thank you so much :) Since I’m not familiar, I found it easier to “unlock” looking through from the outside if the windshield.
Now thats litteraly thinking outside the box. Lol. Thanks for the tip.

Thank you Sir, your doing God's work here!
Thanks very much. Saved me labor costs.
WTF was Honda thinking?
They were laughing and saying "wait til some poor slob tries to remove these"
So they can charge 300.00 to replace it

Tryingvtobdo mines sucks @$$😢
I'm back!!! Had to re-watch this for a 2019 Insight because I forgot how to do it! 😂
Thank you! Probably saved me a few bucks and some time taking it to the dealer!
Wife bought a car all on her own- a 2018 Honda CRV- It’s breaking down as we are traveling on its first long trip
Bless u for making this video tried to figure out myself and almost had an aneurism lol🤬🤬
This just saved me a ton of time and money, thank you!!
The video helped me put the sun visor back on. Don’t know why it fell out of the roof mount.
Super helpful especially the part about the gap had mine out in 10 sec after watching this video
Great video. Super helpful
whats the year and model of your car?
Thanks, this was helpful, but I ended up just breaking the tab due to its bullshit design and was still able to get it off.
Mine has the tab like that. So, do I push in? Push dpwn? push towards the windshield or away? Which direction do I push? Trying to remove the DS by the way.
You cant push it in any direction but to push it IN. As long as you push on the tab with the gap in between.
This question helped me so much. I'd seen another video that said to do it the other way, and to push the tab "down" which I took to mean towards the steering wheel and it was not working.
Tanks so much u r dhe best 👍👍👍
Great advice but you forgot to mention to have the new one in the unlocked position.
thanks for the advice. i guess if your installing a used one, then its probably be in the lock position. but normally the brand new one should already be in the unlock position.
@@abcdeinformation3048 It was new. Great video though. Thank you!
Thank you! Got it done!
Spot on. Thank you
Hi
Did you turn the old visor towards or away from the windshield when removing?
I turn it away from the windshield. Its in normal position before you press the lock. Then while pressing the lock, start turning the visor away from windshield, at the same time, make sure your also pushing and turning the lock together with the sunvisor

I ended up getting it but had to press really really hard with a screwdriver on the tab with the visor slightly turned back to get it to go

Thank you I almost cut off the wires because I didnt know the trick lol
Let me know if there's any instructional videos you want me to upload
Which direction am I supposed to push it? I can’t tell in the video. Away from the side window or toward it?
While I manage to push that thing inside, it doesn't turn while I turn the visor. I try to push it towards the rotating side of the visor but nothing. It's a tough one...
Did you ever get it? I’m having the same problem
@@jondough3339 I quitted trying, and left it aside. I don't know how I will take it apart if I actually have a problem.
@@jondough3339 did you try spraying some WD-40?
no matter how much or how hard i push the tab, it won’t move. i’ve been at it for an hour 😅
Same
The old model had two screws to take out .
Does this fit honda crv 2018 exl where did you order
I'm having a hard time getting mine out. My sun visor is 14 years old. Would squirting DW40 into the notch work?
It may, or it may not. If you squirt too much, it might get in to the swivel portion making it slide easier, and the friction needed so the locking tab would turn might be lost. I would say get a small squirt on a rag, then wipe it on the locking tab.
Can you tell me the model and year of your Honda? Thanks.
sorry but thats a customers car. i dont remember the exact year model. but they are pretty much the same. if theres no screw, the design is pretty much the same.
Where can I buy sun visor for Honda ?
Genuine OEM Honda parts dealer sites as well
Thanks those things are a little SOB
Thanks
After trying for over an hour, i think i messed up the tab so bad im screwed…. No more gap because i mangled it with the screw driver, what now?
get mad and mangle it all the way out. lol. sorry.
Mine fell out randomly when i tried to block the sun, idk how the hell you pushed this thing back into place? It's got 3 directional tabs on it? It don't just push in. Had the wire short out and spark when i tried
Lol. I suggest get somebody to watch my video and just let them do it. Just kidding.
Htf do you get the "gap" to push in?....Looks like you had problems too...easlier said than do e if youve never done it before
Hi. You'll get it if you actually watch the video. Yes there is some pressure you have to apply. But you dont push in the gap. You twist the visor to make a gap, then push on the tab. Good luck...
Thanks for posting
Comments for any instructional video request you may have. Please dont forget to subscribe.
very helpful~!
How does passenger side disconnect. I have tried pushing in with no luck
It should be the same procedure. Just make sure you have that gap before pushing the tab
Thank you
Your welcome
Trying to put the new one on
Would this work to install sun visors to a car with no headliner, just metal?
it would. But its loose due to the gap for the headliner
❤
Ho perfecto
Lol we’re u gonna show how to install?
Lol. I suggest you watch the full video
Did as told. Still angerly ripped it out
Im sorry to hear that. I guess thats another way to do it. Lol
@@abcdeinformation3048
So if you don't have that gap, THEN WHAT???
@@freeman573 get angry and ripped it out. Lol. Joke. Your sun visor is probably frozen now if your moving it around and the gap is not showing anymore. You can try to make your own gap though by stripping a little bit of that plastic off.
OK
Thanks
Can’t see nothing 😅
It still would not line up that easy for mine
Yeah. Specially when they age. Those plastic just get hard.
I hate these visors!
Lol. I know. So did i. They lower the labor time cause theres no screws to remove. This job can be a 1 minute job or a 1 day job. Lol
Mines just a little loose. Is there a way to tighten it?
Sorry to say. But this dont come with screws. They are plastic. They stretch.
Thanks
looks like it worked out for you.
