Re: Sun visor that swivels??????
So I am not the only one that got stung by this one... whew feel much better now!
I tried to remove the retaining clip on the other visor and couldn't so decided that I would just let the SMB guys pull it off.
I wonder if it was installed in place to retain the visor during shipping an can only assume that the dealer is supposed to remove it during prep. In this case it appears that SMB is the party that preps the vans for delivery because I was shown glue drips on the body and bumper that they said were left by the factory and they said they have to remove it. I had thought they were just messy.
So if you look at the clip from the side it looks like you can slide it off with some effort but the SMB foreman may have just pulled it right off. I did not want to force it myself so I can ask next week at van delivery.
The visor is shaped properly to look like it was intended to swivel all along. It snaps into it's little detent clip area and everything. I too looked in the manual and couldn't find anything. I figured I had done my research and was ready to place an order. It does look exactly like the one Spenard shows, pretty sure it is the same.
I just saved over $500 so this was a nice discovery. Rosen does have a visor for the earlier model Sprinter, I think, and I saw the after market swivel conversion kits and thought that it applied to the newer models too. Oh well.
I am just surprised that the dealers don't take care of this consistently. I was also under the impression that the SMB foreman had not done this before. He was pretty happy with his discovery and made sure everyone knew that it worked this way.
Strange.
