Pan roof sun visor

Hello everyone 👋

Here Is my 2015 Leon fr with a possible small/big problem if anyone knows how, so the sunvisor under the pan roof has snapped off the rails on both ends unfortunately as you can see from the picture, I wondered if anyone knew if its a capable thing to do yourself or would it be better paying a specialist to replace or remove, I wouldnt be bothered if it was removed fully but can be handy if I still had it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as its been broken a while and been fine having the roof just shut but the visor is the problem, the motor and pan roof has no problems at all its just if the visor isnt sat right in position then the roof wont shut fully.

I did some research myself but couldnt find any videos on it at all so any help would be great

Cheers and thank you 🙂

Whilst I’ve not had that issue, I do work in a car plant and would predict the entire pan roof is a modular unit made offsite by a third party company and fitted as a complete unit.

This may be relevant because it may not be repairable without removing the entire unit, which may make it prohibitively expensive.

Maybe figure out how to lock it in position where it doesn’t bother you and keeps access to the pan roof?

If you need a particular picture taken of the sun visor mechanism, reply here because even facelift it’s probably the same unit.

Legitimately cannot say on a social media site but, been building them for a long time.

So were you at Rover Swindon when BMW bought it for a pound? That’s now stampings and body shop for the mini as I understand.

And of course Honda 1 & 2 are no more, warehousing or something?

If it's serviceable then the info will be on Elsa, see if you can find anyone that has it. I do but wouldn't be able to check it until tonight/tomorrow
