Thank you so much. Dealership said $75 in labor to do it. Parts were only about $10. You're the best. I was able to do it myself based on your instructions. May God continue to bless you!
Bought the clip from the dealer for around $15 and by watching your very descriptive video i easily replaced mine in about a minute or 2. I gently used a flat head screw driver without forcing it. Thank you for saving me the labor.
Worked out perfectly for my 2014 Passat. Follow the instructions exactly. Use the proper pry tool and it'll take about 30 secs to accomplish. Thanks for the excellent video.
10/07/2022 Thank you for this video. My installation was not as smooth as yours. Had to fight to get the housing unit to snack back in place. Nonetheless, mission accomplished.
THANK YOU, thank you so much. I watched your video and I able to change both broken clips in my 2012 passat in less than 50 seconds. I used a fine flathead screwdriver to remove the plastic cover. Thank you again.
Yes mine came off easily using same tool you can get also from amazon under 3 buks. 2nd time mine broke my wife is paying me 50 buks cost of having the dealer do it the 1st time. Btw i was having difficulty popping it out before seeing this video, the trick is to start where the smaller prong side is and practice jabbing it on the outer edge of the new part to get the hang of it. Hope that helps.
I bought mine on eBay. Size and fit was very close to OEM. Smaller plastic pin was 0.5mm too large in diameter. Filed it down so it would insert and clip into place. Also, metal clip held visor too tightly. Bent it in somewhat to reduce pressure.
You forgot to mention that you may need to really push it in. I had use socket and gently hit it with a hammer to get pushed in tight so it wouldn’t fall out when locking in the visor to the clip.
Unfortunately my bracket doesn't seem to want to come off. I've tried the iphone tool, screwdriver, and both together and it still won't pop off like the video. Do you have any suggestions?
You might be prying the assembly and not the cover dont worry that happened to me too. Try practicing on the new part and pry on the outer edge. Good luck
Oh my, upholstery is destroyed. Its just a car, relax your butt, moreover not your car. Don't feel like following instructions? Guess what, you can always move on with your life. :)

Hmmm.... This seems to be a common issue. Glad I'm not the only one. Thanks for the help!
Yep. Mine just broke this morning.
Facts!
simple but helpful, thanks!
Great video as I just replaced my driver side which gets the most use.
Thanks for the vid, worked great 😊

Just FYI for most 2013-2020 vw vans etc this will work however, there are now two hex screws that needs removing too underneath the cap
Awesome, thank you for the tutorial.
Great stuff! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for the instructions, where do you recommend buying this clip?
Video description says, he bought it from the dealer. But there might be other avenues like Ebay etc.
I bought qty 2 on eBay for $7.59.

Polo 6 worked perfectly

thanks for this sharing. very usefull. 😊
Hello how do I know which parts to buy?
Great help, thanks
Thanks!
👍thanks!! Much helpful man.
Thank you!
Anyone know where I can find a replacement in the UK?
Is this failure common to 2012 VW Passat? Mine broke exactly like this (5 years later).
Stan A. Both of mine broke within a week of each other haha
Yes, several were broken in used Passats I was looking at buying.
If you have a Passat that is from 2014 or newer, the screwdriver does not work. We used a pliers and it came right out.
Will this work on a 2015 Passat Wolfsburg edition
I'm not positive. Does the part look like the one in the video, then it probably will. 2012-2015 Passat are identical.
Thanks
I’ve broken these things 3x… someone please make a better designed replacement!!
Ty
Fuck this is hard
I don't get it mine didn't pop off
Unfortunately my bracket doesn't seem to want to come off. I've tried the iphone tool, screwdriver, and both together and it still won't pop off like the video. Do you have any suggestions?

I ended up carefully breaking mine apart to remove it. Watch out for small flying pieces of plastic.

The bracket won't come off....🙁
Do you have same vehicle model? It is a little tight at first.
They are the same as the vw up!
You have marked the ceiling upholstery with the tool. 👎🏻
