Guide overview

Before you begin

This guide demonstrates the process of replacing a sun visor on a 2016 Jeep Wrangler. Sun visors provide cover from the sun, which is an important safety feature when driving. If there is a glare or bright light when driving, visibility may be reduced. If the sun visor becomes worn and ineffective, this guide will help. If you need to replace the sun visor of your 2013-2018 Jeep Wrangler, follow this guide.

Step 1

Lower the old sun visor to the lowest position.

Locate the screw that secures the sun visor to the mounting bracket.
This screw is sometimes covered by a small plastic bracket.
Remove the plastic cover using a flathead screwdriver or trim-removing tool

Step 3

Repair step

⌕

Use a Torx T20 or T25 to remove the 12 mm screw that attaches the sun visor to the bracket.

Slide the old sun visor off the mounting bracket.
Keep the old sun visor and any hardware in case it's needed for the replacement.

Step 5

Slide the new sun visor onto the mounting bracket, aligning the holes for the screws.

Step 6

Repair step

Insert the screw into the mounting bracket and tighten it with the Torx T25 screwdriver.
