Well I hope this does not sound dumb, but can anyone help
me with this? how do you take the sun visors off without
screwing them up? I bought new one's and I'm trying to
replace them.

Thanks in advance....Poncho

You remove the targa, remove the screws in the plate above the visor, then comes the trick of getting a screwdriver in to pry up the little teeth on the thing holding it all in.

You'll probably break it or at least a few of the teeth. And once it comes loose, the pieces inside might fly in 3 or 4 directions so be watchful.

& if you do break that pos washer, they are something like $12 or $24each to replace. ( there`s that Corvette tax again )

It's called a push nut and you can find them at a hardware store, fastner supply store, or home depot for a quarter.
