The following steps describe the process for removal and reinstallation of your Corvette Sunshade.
REMOVAL OF SUNSHADE : (Caution: Take great care to avoid damage to the plastic bezel, rod or other parts of the sunshade. These parts are reasonably fragile and easy to damage. Protect these parts and do not force the removal.)
To remove the driver side sunshade, tilt the sunshade down toward the windshield as you would to block the sun.
Insert the blade of a flat head screwdriver in the slot on the inner plastic bezel at the end of the rod (Install protective sleeve on this rod) protruding from the sunshade into the roof area.
Now rotate the sunshade clockwise toward the driver’s side window. The placement of the screwdriver will cause the bezel to rotate when the sunshade turns and presses against it. Pull down on the sunshade arm as you rotate it until the sunshade stops.[the first tab disengages]. Push up on the sunshade and continue rotating the sunshade until the sunshade with the inner bezel disengages from the mounting bezel.
In this position the sunshade will come free from the roof-housing. Expose the wiring connector (This is located 2-3” from the end of the rod.) Disconnect the connector. (you may have to remove the roof bezel to get the connector to come free. This bezel is a press-fit.)
REINSTALL SUNSHADE:
To reinstall the sunshade reverse the process After reconnecting the wiring, insert the plastic bezel on the end of the sunshade into the bezel in the roof. (This requires the proper alignment of the two bezels.) Note: the shape of the triangle will only allow the bezels to mount one way. You may need to twist the bezel on the sunshade to get the proper alignment.
Press against the bezel and rotate the sunshade toward the front windshield. (note the screwdriver is not required to do the reinstall. Hold the bezel in place by hand as you rotate the visor).
As you do this, the bezel will turn and lock into place. Note: It will be necessary to push the sunshade all the way to the front windshield.
The sunshade should now operate freely.
