Replacing Sun Visor Support Bracket

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Dashboard

The passenger side sun visor is attached to the headliner with a hinge on the right side and a support bracket on the left. On the left side, the sun visor is clipped in and can be detached and rotated to block sunlight on the side window when needed. This support can become damaged but can easily be replaced with a new one. To perform this replacement, it is not necessary to remove the support hinge (as shown in the video); just move the sun visor enough to access the bracket, open the tabs covering the mounting screws, and remove them to proceed with the installation of the new support.

How to Install Roof Bars on a Fiat 500L

Learn how to fit universal roof bars on a Fiat 500L. These bars are used on vehicles with or without roof rails. Assemble the roof bar kit (as shown in the video) with bars adjusted to the width of the vehicle (measure with a tape measure). Position the brackets at both ends of the doors on the vehicle's original roof rails. Once the anchoring bracket width is set, tighten the bolts with a butterfly nut (if a lock is present) until fully secured to the roof rails. Fit safety caps on both sides.
