The bearing supports the sun visor at its mounting point and allows the visor to pivot smoothly between its raised and lowered positions.

Designed as an OE-style replacement, it is ideal for repairing a loose, sagging or poorly operating sun visor without replacing the complete visor assembly.

What This Product Does:
The sun visor bearing forms part of the visor mounting mechanism at the roof area above the windscreen.

Its main functions include:

• Supporting the sun visor at its pivot point
• Allowing smooth visor movement
• Maintaining correct visor alignment
• Helping the visor remain securely mounted
• Reducing unwanted movement and rattling
• Allowing the visor to be raised and lowered correctly
• Supporting the original interior mounting arrangement

Although it is a relatively small component, a worn bearing can noticeably affect the operation and feel of the sun visor.

Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
Sun visor bearings can deteriorate with age due to repeated use, heat, vibration and ageing of the original material.

Common symptoms include:

• Sun visor hanging or sagging
• Excessive movement at the visor mounting point
• Visor dropping down while driving
• Visor failing to remain in the selected position
• Loose or uneven visor alignment
• Rattling or vibration from the visor area
• Difficulty raising or lowering the visor
• Stiff or inconsistent pivot movement
• Cracked or broken bearing housing
• Excessive play around the visor pivot
• Visor sitting incorrectly when folded against the headlining

A loose visor can also be caused by wear elsewhere in the mounting assembly, so the visor, clips and fixing hardware should be inspected at the same time.

Why Replacement Matters:
A worn sun visor bearing can make the visor difficult to position and may allow it to move unexpectedly while driving.

Replacing the bearing helps restore:

• Secure visor mounting
• Smooth pivot movement
• Correct visor alignment
• Reduced rattling and vibration
• Reliable raised and lowered positioning
• A cleaner, more original interior appearance
