Sun Visors for Jeep Cherokee
Sun visors to shield your drivers eyes from the light are crucial features for your safety and the protection of your Jeep Grand Cherokee. Maintaining and replacing your sun visors is a simple task when you understand the essential components. Choose from a wide selection of sun visors for Jeep Cherokee.
What materials do manufacturers use to make sun visors?Most sun visors such as those in your Jeep Grand Cherokee have a core made of pressboard, although some are made of molded substrates or polypropylene. They attach to a mounting bracket with a piece of metal and covered with a thin layer of padding and fabric or other material to match the interior of your vehicle.
What visor types are there for a Jeep Grand Cherokee?When deciding on a replacement for your Grand Cherokee, you will want to consider both your style and that of the vehicle. A few common upgrades to consider include:
- Storage: Small pockets are a common add-on that allow easy storage for sunglasses, CDs, or other small items.
- Mirrors:, a mirror is a nice upgrade to consider, especially on the passenger side.
- Lighted mirrors: If your Jeep Grand Cherokee is already wired for this feature, most replacements have a plug-in wiring harness that will be compatible. If your Grand Cherokee does not have this feature, you could opt for a battery-powered light.
- Backup cameras: Some packages allow you add a monitor that connects to an exterior backup camera.
Sun visors and sunshades are two entirely different products, but both are good investments for your Jeep Grand Cherokee. The sun visor shields the drivers or passengers eyes from the sun. Sun shades are large screens used when you park the vehicle. You place them inside the windshield, and they protect the interior of your SUV and your dashboard from harsh UV rays that cause cracking or discoloration.
How do you repair a Jeep Grand Cherokee sun visor?Because most visors consist of a few parts, repairs are simple. You can replace the plastic brackets independently, or you can purchase a kit that includes both brackets, the visor, and the necessary screws. If there are no electrical components, you can just unscrew the visor from your Jeep Grand Cherokee and attach the new visor. If there is an electrical component, most replacements are plug-and-play, so you can easily detach the old unit and attach the new one.
