Schuberth C3 Sun Visor

[Doctordub]

Hi

I've just bought a C3 in the sales as I fancied a flip-up lid. I've had an SR2 for a while, which is really easy to pull apart when I want to clean the internal pads etc.
I'm trying to release the sun visor in the C3 and it won't budge. The visor has some protective coating which I'd really like to clean properly, but I need to remove it first.
I've tried following the poor diagram in the manual and I've looked on YouTube.
Has anyone managed to do this without breaking the bloody thing?

What is it with people today? IS THIS BIKING NEWS?

But...but...it's the latest problem he has and it's clearly affecting his biking.

Sorry, can't keep a straight face any longer.

I have issues. Not BIKING ones, but I do have issues ..

Actually I had meant to post this to a different section of the form but possibly because this is my first post here, I got it wrong.

Thank you so much for all of your helpful comments and it's so good to see that the fraternity of bikers is still as friendly and helpful to fellow bikers as I knew way back in my youth.

[wristjob]

so in the spirit of fraternity you could now post in the right section.
so as not to appear a bit of a cry baby.

Actually I am off elsewhere to find some proper bikers. The only crybabies here are people who can't understand that someone has made a genuine mistake. I doubt whether anybody would answer this question even if it was in the 'correct' forum.

But you'll always wonder.

Funny how the other poster who made a similar mistake around the same time just said "sorry", laughed it off and re-posted in the Workshop section.

Doctordub - I don't think there's an answer to your question anywhere on the web, so I would try the same technique as for other Schuberth models - i.e. rotate the sun visor to its lowest position, grasp it firmly with thumb and forefinger as near to the hinge as possible, then pull slowly and very firmly away from the hinge.

You could also email Schuberth customer services. I got a very helpful reply from them recently on another matter, even though it was to do with a discontinued model. The guy who helped me is Michael Männel, email Kundenservice@schuberth.de.

P.S. As for the twatty replies, I'm afraid it goes with the territory. But there really aren't any better forums. You need to just not give a fuck. Which is a handy attitude for bikers in pretty much everything.
