Any threads on how to remove & replace the mirror on the visor? The bottom of the mirror doesn't seem to want to disengage

or does the whole damn thing have to come down to be taken apart ? |
Just gently pry out the plastic lens and you can get to the bulb.

Searching for 02 C5 sun visor removal replacement assistance I found an excellent U tube video on removal. This thread is one for the books like most I've used. |

Hey gang. I deleted the sun visors on my Trans Am and there were metal/billetdelete pieces that you could buy and screw into place so that there wasnt a big hole in your headliner. Is there anything like that for C5s? I want to take off my visors but I dont want big holes in the corners where they used to be.

Thank you sir!

I recommend replacing the inner bezel on the new sunvisor with the old one. It's easy to do with a pair of channelocks. Put one jaw on the tubing
(be careful of the wires) and the other jaw under the bezel, then squeeze. The bezel will pop loose. The channelocks can also be used to pop the old bezel onto the new visor arm. The reason for my recommondation is this... I could not get the visors to lock into place. They hung loose or fell back out. So I took a close look at what was going on. The problem is that the inner bezels are slightly different from the originals, enough to make them useless. The inner bezel diameter is larger than the indent where it's supposed to fit in the outer bezel. After I sanded the diameter to fit, it still would not lock into place. |
Had the same results with my Ecklers visors. OEM fit, aftermarket don't.

Mine also came from Ecklers. Some people posting didn't seem to have problems. I don't know if there's more than one manufacturer or their quality varies. I'm very satisfied with mine now that they are installed. But it took me several days to figure out how to solve the installation problem; It would be better if the manufacturer didn't include the inner bezel and explained in the instructions how to install the old bezel on the new visor. I could have had the job done in 5 minutes.

I wish I read this earlier. I got the Eckler's replacement, seemed to fit okay so I tossed the old LH Visor and now it's really loose. Does anyone know an aftermarket that actually works? Thanks!
The second set I bought in March of 2018 were from buyavette_inc on eBay for $179.00. I installed them in March 2018 and the Black color matches the Black interior like factory. The quality of these are like a brand new GM product. The safety sticker looks lithographed or printed in the material somehow un-removable and permanent. These were delivered ready to install with new circular turn snap locks requiring no additional parts. These were E-Z out of the box installation and matched the car like OEM. Check these sun visors out and do your research. Call buyavette_inc and ask about the install lock rings. I know buyavette_inc visors were ready to install and play. I’ve owned my 02 C5 Vert 11 years. My only mistake was not joining Corvette Forum sooner. The projects I’ve done and the lessons I’ve learned from members here have saved me $$$$$$ and time. Thanks all members! Mule. |
