Volkswagen Sun Visor - Genuine VW 3B0857551S2F4

Product Information

A sun visor is the hinged or sliding panel located above the windshield inside a car’s cabin, designed to block or reduce sunlight and glare for the driver and front passenger. They are typically made of a padded core covered in vinyl, fabric, or leather.

• Won’t Stay in Position: The hinge, detent mechanism, or friction rod is worn, causing the visor to drop or swing freely.
• Loose or Wobbly Mounting: The mounting bracket or screws may be loose or stripped.
• Cracked or Broken Hinge: The pivot point or connecting rod can snap, making the visor unusable.

About Genuine VW

The Volkswagen Group, also known as “VAG”, consists of Volkswagen, Audi, Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, Porsche, Ducati, MAN, Scania, SEAT, and Skoda. The original parts used by VW to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine VW” brand. Manufactured under the direction of VW, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are available exclusively through the VW Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your VW are not necessarily manufactured by VW. No cause for concern, as VW designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for VW for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine VW parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a VW logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming directly from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
