How to Remove the Visors in a Trailblazer

Visors in most vehicles are generally easy to take down and remove. The visors in a Chevrolet Trailblazer are more complicated and take a special tool to completely remove them. Along with the special tool, you need to know specific steps in the removal process or it will be nearly impossible to get the visors out of the Trailblazer. The steps are not obvious and the process has confused many experienced mechanics.

Things You'll Need

• Size 20 torque driver
• Small metal wire

Instructions

1. Pull the visor open. Locate the hex bolt on the base of the visor that holds it to the headliner of the Trailblazer. Remove this bolt with the torque driver.

2. Rotate the visor while looking at the base. Look for an opening to appear when the visor is rotated at a certain angle. Stop moving the visor when the opening appears. Place the end of a small metal wire into the opening and push. Rotate the visor parallel with the windshield and keep pressure on the wire, pushing it into the visor.

3. Look for the seperation between the headliner and the base of the visor. Once this happens, grab the headliner at the edge and use it to push down against the visor, slowly pulling the visor away from the headliner.

4. Pull the visor from the ceiling and then loose from the area

Tips & Warnings

• Don't force the visor to come down. This can cause major damage to the visor and to the headliner board on the ceiling.
