Interior - Replacement Sun Visor Information

Always Use Correct Replacement Sunvisors

Need to replace one or both of the sunvisors in a '03-04 Accord? Make sure you order and install the correct replacement sunvisor for that vehicle. This is especially important if it's got side curtain airbags. Never install a sunvisor made for a vehicle without side curtain airbags in a vehicle with them. The consequences could be dire; just read the letter we sent to all dealerships on March 29, 2005, titled "Vehicle Modifications Affecting Safety Systems." This is serious stuff.





Fortunately, there's a real easy way to tell which sunvisor goes with which vehicle. In vehicles with side curtain airbags, the entire sunvisor extends on its mount. In vehicles without side curtain airbags, the sunvisors have a plastic extender that slides in and out.
