  • BMW 3 Series (E46) (1998–2006)Fit-testedHeadlining sun visor retaining clip.

The E46 sun visor clip is a brittle moulding in the headlining that lets go with age, after which the visor swings down on its own.

Printed in PETG. The clip pushes into the headlining aperture and the visor arm snaps into it as before.

Interior trim only.

Validation evidence

Test-fitted on the vehicle listed and confirmed by the owner. No hot-box, load-cycling or UV testing has been carried out, and no dimensional report exists beyond the measured CAD geometry.

Fitting guidance

Prise the remains of the old clip from the headlining, press the replacement in until the shoulder seats, then snap the visor arm into the clip.

Known limitations

Interior trim fixing. Holds a sun visor; it is not a grab handle and will not take a hand load.
