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.
