Repair of sunvisors

Not sure if documented or not but had an issue with one of the sunvisors
where the arm that mounts into the roof kept falling out.
These visors had the flip courtesy light on them.
Found the swivel bit is just a push fit and what had happened is the small plastic
Ridge on the arm that holds it in place had worn down and would not hold in arm in.
Found you can remove the flip mirror by releasing the clips,(thin blade kitchen knife) unsolder the two wires for the lights,twist the arm and mounting rod,pull hard and the arm extracts out of the visor.
I had a spare sunvisor that had a broken mirror so pulled the good arm out of that unit.
Re feed the wires down the rod,re connect wires, press the light / mirror assembly back in place, push the rod back into the sunvisor and all fixed.
