Q—My 2003 Carrera Cabrio sunvisor fell off the car while I was loading groceries into the back seat. I cannot see how it attaches or what holds it in place. –Mike
A – The visor fits into the latch bracket on the header bow and to figure out what happened, you will have to remove the bracket. It is held in place by two allen bolts which are secured by Loctite. When you remove them, be very careful not to tilt the bracket because you will find the clips, washer and spring sitting inside the bracket if you are lucky.
Once you have all the pieces you will notice that the clips were deformed when you knocked the visor off. These can sometimes be straightened and reused but be careful. They are brittle and easy to lose. Once you have straightened them, you can hold the visor arm in a vise and place the bracket onto the arm then assemble the spring, washer and clips by pushing down on the clips with a 6mm socket. Following the reassembly, remember to reapply Loctite to the threads of those two bolts. Screw them back in, torque them down and you are all set. –MC
