3. Disconnect the Electrical Connection:

   • Gently pull the assembly down to expose the electrical wiring.
   • Disconnect the electrical connector by pulling it apart.

Step 3: Install the New Sun Visor

1. Connect the New Assembly:

2. Secure the Assembly:

   • Position the new sun visor in place, ensuring it fits into the original mounting points.
   • Insert the bolts you removed earlier and tighten them using the 7mm socket wrench.

3. Reattach the Plastic Cover:

   • Carefully press the plastic cover back into place over the assembly.
