More parts removal questions-Sunvisor & Handbrake Cover

155V6 · Feb 28th, 2015, 18:07

I've been stripping more parts out of my spare C70 today.Most parts come out quite easily,but I'm struggling with the sunvisors & handbrake cover.Is the wire meant to come out of the sunvisor,or do I need to unplug it somwhere else?
As for the handbrake cover,I'm guessing that might not come off in one piece?
I only want to change it as the one I'm putting the interior into has the plastic cover,& the other one is the softer type.

There's not a lot about the sun visor around. Some info here.

Unscrew the 4 visor screws and pop from the rubber mould the entire plastic panel that goes the breadth of the vehicle to unplug visors then unclip visor hinges from panel

Push plastic handbrake surround panel that houses the boot, to the side and pop out of console

A couple of updates.
Removing the sunvisor itself wasn't the problem,it was the wire that goes into it.I've cut them off for now,I'll take them inside & have a better look how they come out.
As for the handbrake,it's the actual bit you hold which I wanted to change but it seems to be fitted so you can't remove it.As I'm completely gutting the interior,I've removed the complete mechanism & will swap it over.
