Volvo 240 Right Sun Visor
The right sun visor is a hinged panel mounted above the passenger seat that blocks direct sunlight and glare, often equipped with a vanity mirror and sometimes illumination on models like the XC90, XC60, and S60. In South African conditions with intense sun exposure, these visors face significant UV degradation, causing the fabric covering to detach, pivot points to loosen, and mirror clips to break. Volvo visors are model-specific with integrated wiring harnesses on higher trim levels, making proper replacement crucial for functionality and interior aesthetics. We supply inspected Volvo 240 right sun visor compatible with the 1974-1993 range, with warranty included and nationwide courier delivery.

Common Questions About Right Sun Visor
How much does a right sun visor replacement cost for a Volvo XC90 or XC60?
Right sun visors for XC90 (2002-2014) and XC60 models range from R450–R1,200 depending on whether it includes an illuminated vanity mirror. Models with integrated lighting (common on Inscription and R-Design trims) cost more due to wiring harness complexity. Installation is straightforward—most owners can swap visors in 10-15 minutes with a Torx screwdriver.
Are Volvo sun visors interchangeable between models like the S60, V70, and XC70?
No, Volvo sun visors are model- and generation-specific due to different mounting bracket designs, sizes, and wiring configurations. A V70 (2000-2007) visor won't fit an XC70 of the same era despite sharing platforms, and P1 platform cars (S40, V50, C30) use completely different visor assemblies. Always verify your exact model year and trim level before ordering.
Can I repair a sagging right sun visor or do I need to replace it?
If the pivot point is worn or the mounting screws are stripped, replacement is necessary—repair clips rarely work long-term on Volvo visors. Minor issues like loose screws can be tightened, but once the internal pivot mechanism fails (common on 2002-2010 XC90/S60 models), the visor needs replacing. Used OEM visors from reputable Durban suppliers typically cost R350–R900 and restore proper function.
Do right sun visors for T5 and D5 engine Volvos differ?
No, sun visors are identical across engine variants—a T5 petrol S60 and D5 diesel S60 from the same generation use the same visor. The distinction is model year, trim level (whether it has illuminated mirrors), and interior color rather than powertrain. Focus on matching your vehicle's production year and trim rather than engine code.
Where can I find replacement right sun visors for older Volvo models like the 850 or V70 P2?
Volvo Spares Scrap Yard in Durban stocks used OEM visors for 850, 940, V70 P2 (2000-2007), and S60 first-generation models at R300–R750. These older visors are durable but check the fabric condition and pivot tightness before purchase. Original Volvo parts maintain better UV resistance than aftermarket alternatives in South African sun.
