Introdução

This guide will show you how to properly replace the sun visor in a 2008-2013 Toyota Highlander.

A sun visor can fail for many reasons, such as broken hinges or a visor that won’t stay up. Repairing a damaged sun visor is important, as a malfunctioning visor can distract the driver or fail to block bright sunlight, creating a safety risk.

Before you begin the repair, ensure that the vehicle is parked and the parking brake is engaged. Adjust your seat so you can comfortably sit in an upright position for an extended period of time.
