I want to take a minute to thank you for taking the time to make this video, you’ve helped me and certainly SO many other people, at no benefit to yourself except to help other people. GOOD PERSON!!!!
Thank you so much! This video was such a big help. Literally took a minute to do it. I didn’t have a tool like yours but I used a tool that opens paint cans. It worked no problem. The first video I watched the guy was using a screw driver and cut himself in the process....yeah no not following that advice. Thanks again for this video - concise and helpful!
Thanks so much for taking the time to make this video! I have been dealing with my visor knocking me in the head for the last 10 years...I'm so over it! Hoping to fix it in the next few weeks now that I know I got this!
Thank you so much, Colin, for this "how to" video. You've made a mysterious subject crystal clear. I now feel confident I can change my own visor. Thanks!!
Did not have the pick screwdriver, but I ended up using a combination of a fork and a bent double-sided wrench to get the cover off. I had to absolutely destroy it as well but this video was very helpful. Thanks!!!
Thanks so much for putting this quality video together! I watched the video, then went out and changed my sun visor in under a minute! I greatly appreciate the filming and edits to keep it short, clear, and with all essentials! What a service!!!
THANK YOU for this short and easy to follow video!!! I was able to change my visor on my own in about 30 seconds just as advertised...lol! And a HUGE THANK YOU for saving me about $300 because that is what the dealer quoted me to do the SAME THING!!!
This is an excellent tutorial for replacing a visor. I was able to complete the replacement in just a few minutes! The real key was getting that tool at Ace Hardware. I saw other videos where people used a screwdriver, and had all sorts of problems getting the old visor down, including denting the headboard. Do yourself a favor, and get that tool - makes the job so easy! Thank you again for posting this excellent video!
Great video, to the point without destroying headliner as other videos. I will be replacing mine soon and seems so easy with the right tool (which I have). Thank you Colin!
Thanks for the helpful video. Just installed a replacement visor on my 08 Rav4 and was easy. The original ones brackets were rusty and making a funny noise and visor was hanging on one side. The new visor assembly and your how to video made all the difference👍👍👍
Thank you for this!! I was worried this would be an overly expensive fix but this was so easy and worked perfectly on my 2010 Rav4. Appreciate you taking the time to make this walkthrough!
This was the best video we just change it following your directions it went as shown. The other video where the guy hurt his hand with the screwdriver was terrible. Yours was so simple and easy to understand. Thank you so much you saved us a lot of money.
Thank you so much for the video. Had jurry-rigged the visor with a shoe lace in my 08 RAV4 as it was falling apart. Finally bought a replacement and after watching your video it literally took me less than 5 minutes to do.
Thanks for this! This is much better than another video where they just jerk it out. For those looking for that tool, a lot of times you’ll get one when you buy a kit of plastic pry bars meant for removing interior trim.
Great video. You got right to the point and clearly showed how to do it. I switched to your video after wasting 3-5 minutes on some other guy fumbling around, trying to figure it out as he went. Thank you!
That trim piece also serves to keep those clips from disappearing into your headliner cavity. Make sure the bosses on that trim piece are spreading those spring clips slightly before installing
Thank you so much for explaining step by step so thoroughly, especially about the very last step and the plastic trim piece; that step is essential to hold on the visor, and the other videos didn't explain that! I'll be checking here first next time I have a question to see if you have a video that'll help!
i followed this video and it right on the money. but it took me a lot long than 40 seconds to get the piece out. that was the hardest part. took me more like 30 minutes. keep in mind that you have to pry one end and then the other.
Thank you very much for this video. I just followed your directions and had no problem replacing the visor. You just saved me a ton of money and I appreciate it!
I just bought replacement ones for my moms Rav and they’re like the ones here with the plastic clip. However the ones on her car currently are secured with screws. So assume the plastic clip ones won’t work.
Thank you for the video. I have a 2006 rav4. Need the left side. Which one should I get? There are so many of them and I hear a bunch are junk. Any suggestions?
Best video on how to replace one of these on UA-cam. Do you know is it possible to replace just the mirror tho without having to replace the whole unit? If not then I might just get an adhesive mirror and stick it to the broken glass.
@@colchilibeck Actually the visor that I ordered off of Amazon has different metal clips then the one I took off. Even though it said it's compatible with my vehicle I don't think it is. I am sending it back because the mirror is off the track.
I tried using your method and ordered the same visor for some reason after I installed it won’t stay in. It keeps popping out when I move it up and down and to the side. Can anyone offer some advice what I might be doing wrong
It is an issue with Toyota RAV4s (and other Toyota models, I suspect) the visor mechanism that holds it in the up position will fail and the visor will not hold itself up. My visor has been busted for a couple years and it is time to replace it

I'm always grateful for people who take the time to make these how-to videos.
Thanks!
Thank you for the very easy and brief directions!!!! Very well done and easy to follow! I appreciate that it isn’t a 5 minute ordeal to watch! 😃

The bent tool made it much easier to remove the cover. Some other presenters do it the hard way. Thanks for the tip.
Thank you!! Super easy to do. Got my visor for $30 on Amazon and installed it no problem 👍🏼

Thank You! Even an old lady like me can do that! Really appreciate your tutorial.
I just received my replacement from Amazon this morning. One of my project today. I hope it will go as fast can your. 👍
Great video, to the point without destroying headliner as other videos. I will be replacing mine soon and seems so easy with the right tool (which I have). Thank you Colin!
Thank you! I was strugling with screw drivers, and then I found your video. I had that tool, and it was a breeze after that.

Followed this video and replaced it instantly with no problems. Thank you!

Using a tool like the one I had helps a lot.
Thank you very much for this video. I just followed your directions and had no problem replacing the visor. You just saved me a ton of money and I appreciate it!
Thank you for this! I already have the new visors but the shop was going to charge me $100 to change them out!
Simple and to the point, actually showing it up close thanks
I didn't get the part about the trim until I saw your video, thanks!
Wow! Thanks for sharing this! I almost paid a shop to repair the visor.
Did it and it worked perfectly, thank you so much.
I used a paint can opener.
Thank you!! Such a clear and concise tutorial 😊
Thanks for the video M8, have a great rest of your day.
You're the real MVP
Thank you, that was very easy, just got done replacing my mom's👍
Anyone else having a problem with the black clips falling into the hole? Any solutions to that would be appreciated
Thanks this was driving me crazy.
I just bought replacement ones for my moms Rav and they’re like the ones here with the plastic clip. However the ones on her car currently are secured with screws. So assume the plastic clip ones won’t work.
Did you find a tool to remove the screws? They are a non-standard shape and size.
Thank you for the video. I have a 2006 rav4. Need the left side. Which one should I get? There are so many of them and I hear a bunch are junk. Any suggestions?
Thanks for the vid! My Rav4 visor has been loose. Need to order a new one!
This is hilarious....been driving my sister's and this fn thing is making me nuts. Ordering the part now!
Thank you so much! It did really helped! Great tutorial!!!

perfect! thanks so much! excellent explanation of the process.
Thanks bro! Toyota sure knows how to make the competition tough, don't they, lol 😂😂😂
Great and helpful video! Thank you!
Thanks excellent video now I can replace my 🙏🏾
what if you don't have the white plastic housing the part fits into (housing inside of the car frame). all i have is a hole
My viser is just loose and doesn't stay up completely...is there a way to tighten it up or does the whole thing need to be replaced?
Just asking, what if the plastic trim piece is not loose on the new one
Will this work for a 2011? Looking at buying a replacement and it seems the visor models differ for 2006-2009 vs 2010-2012
Cassia Tremblay I would assume the procedure will be the same, although the part number may be different.
So helpful! Thank you!!
Thank you. Where do we get the replacement? Amazon? Do you remember how much it cost?
This is so helpful but I am having trouble pushing the plastic trim into the connection. I'm pushing as hard as I can but it won't snap into place.
Did you end up getting it to fit? It may have been an alignment issue.
Hopefully you were able to get it on!
@@colchilibeck Actually the visor that I ordered off of Amazon has different metal clips then the one I took off. Even though it said it's compatible with my vehicle I don't think it is. I am sending it back because the mirror is off the track.
Mine has screws of some sort that don't match any standard screw driver. Does anyone know what tool I need for a RAV4 2018 sun visor?
Thanks a lot. Very helpful
Colin,
What year Rav4 is this video for? Also, were did you get the visors? Please provide a link.
Thank you
Thank you! How simple. Dont need a man. Hehe
Good instructions thanks
In removing the old visor I messed up the receptical part. So now the new visor does not click into place as it should. Has anyone replaced that part?
Thanks
I tried to buy the visor on amazon but does it matter if the year doesn’t match??
Thank you for sharing.
I tried using your method and ordered the same visor for some reason after I installed it won’t stay in. It keeps popping out when I move it up and down and to the side. Can anyone offer some advice what I might be doing wrong
You need to push the outer part in harder
@@joshuabritt6623 yeah I’m getting the same thing
Thank you for this!!!
Thank you Colin. In case the clip/s won't come off, use a needle nose plier.
"...and push in the plastic TRIM"
Orale me ayudo mucho amiga gracias
My local Toyota dealers always put the keys in the visor.
Where do you get a new one?
Where did you order the part? Is it from Toyota or another brand?
Thank you!
As we say here in New Jersey. Batta-bing, Batta-boom.
This video helped me feel more like an independent woman 😂😅
Great! Thank you
What year is he showing?
2007
Where did you order the new one from?
My light didn’t go on when I did this :( what went wrong?
It's not put on all the way it's not flush against the ceiling
where did you get it? can I please get the link
The link that I used is now gone. I would call Toyota dealer to get the part number and then look online using Google.
Just Google “RAV4 Visor 20XX” (your car’s year) and buy it! Online shopping is easy!!
It’s not that easy. I did everything you stated and my visor will not stay.
why replace this?
It is an issue with Toyota RAV4s (and other Toyota models, I suspect) the visor mechanism that holds it in the up position will fail and the visor will not hold itself up. My visor has been busted for a couple years and it is time to replace it
Those replacement visors are spendy. Wadda farce design even by Toyota. I bought one of those visor clips instead.
Thank you!
Thanks
