Toyota Camry Sun Visors
The sun visor is not only convenient but also a boon to safety, keeping the sun out of your eyes when driving your Toyota Camry. The visor flips down on the driver and passenger side of the vehicle in order to shield eyes from the glare of the sun; it often also features clips and mirrors to make your driving life easier. There are an array of replacement parts and pieces that help you to repair a damaged visor in your Camry.
What are some common brands of sun visors for Camrys?You can find both OEM (original equipment manufacturer) and aftermarket sun visor options for the Toyota Camry. Some manufacturers include the following:
- Toyota (standard stock options from the manufacturer)
- Factory Automotive Distributors
- Intro-Tech Automotive
- Possbay
- UVS100 Heat Shield
- Wheelskins
Typically, sun visors will be manual and will require you to physically pull them up and down by hand. Some contain an additional extended piece that can slide out past the normal length of the visor to block out a larger area of sun. Another option on sun visors is the vanity mirror. Certain visors will have a flap that, when opened, reveals a mirror and sometimes features lights.
How do you replace the sun visor on a Toyota Camry vehicle?- First, determine what type of replacement visor you will need based on the model year and trim level of your vehicle. This will ensure that your replacement size is a correct fit for your car. Once you have made a selection based on your individual needs, you can now remove the old visor.
- Unscrew the old visor, paying attention to the screws so that you can use them for reattaching your new visor.
- Flip the visor so that it is up against the window. Using a flat head screwdriver, take the plastic cover off (it will be attached to the ceiling of the vehicle). Wiggle and move the visor around as needed so that you can remove the main assembly. The entire visor should be easily pulled off.
- Using either a flat head or Phillips head screwdriver, re-attach the visor in the same manner that you removed the old one. First, insert the visor stem piece. Some visors may have a tab that will need to be inserted into a hole on the assembly. Ensure that the screws and holes are aligned, and twist the screws back into place. Be sure to test the visor out to ensure it functions properly.
Typically, you will want the visor to match the interior color of your car or truck. There are a variety of color options available, so be sure to thoroughly research your interior color so that you can find the right match. Standard visors are made of nylon, cloth, or vinyl material.
