Features And Fitment
The sun visor fits the left (driver) side of Citroën C5 models from the first and second generations. It contains a vanity mirror with an integrated light that connects to the vehicle’s interior lighting circuit.

The part is delivered in used condition and may show minor signs of wear or light staining.
Installation Recommendations
Replacing the sun visor is a straightforward job for a trained mechanic or an experienced DIYer:
- Remove Any Trim: Carefully pry away any surrounding headliner trim to access the visor mounting points.
- Unscrew Mounting Bolts: Remove the retaining screws or bolts from the pivot bracket. Keep hardware for reuse if undamaged.
- Disconnect Wiring: If the visor has a light, disconnect the electrical connector before fully removing the visor.
- Fit New Visor: Position the replacement visor, reconnect the wiring, and hand-start fasteners to ensure correct alignment. Tighten securely but avoid overtightening plastic components.
- Test Functionality: Verify mirror light operation and mechanical movement of the visor through its full range before refitting trim.
Why The Part Commonly Fails
The most frequent causes of sun visor failure are mechanical wear of the pivot and clips, breakage of plastic mounting points from repeated use, degradation or delamination of the fabric covering, and failure of the vanity mirror light due to bulb/LED or wiring faults. Damage can also occur from impacts inside the cabin or from exposure to heat and sunlight over many years.
Maintenance Tips
To prolong service life, clean the visor fabric with a mild upholstery cleaner, avoid abrasive solvents, and handle the visor gently when stowing or re-positioning. Inspect electrical connectors for corrosion if the mirror light flickers or fails.
