How to replace the sun visor flaps in the Mercedes SL?

Model: Mercedes Sl MK 5, R129 - Years 1989-2001
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this tutorial we can see how to replace the sun visor in the Mercedes SL, an extremely simple and quick operation. First of all, let's go inside the cabin, then lift the visor in which we will work and, pulling it forcefully outwards, we release the inner pin from its support base. Subsequently, we grab the old visor, extract it from the rod by pulling it towards us, insert the replacement one and hook it by pressing the same pin to the base. Repeat the procedure on the opposite sun visor, if necessary.
