just stick a flat head screw driver in the little slot and turn the screwdriver and the visor clockwise about 90 degrees then it will drop off or you can pull on it slightly and it will drop off.

 

The removal directions in that post are WRONG/incomplete - at least for a 2004. You will break the plastic clips and be buying a new visor (belive me, I learned the hardway ) The visor will not just pop off.

You MUST push UP on the visor rod (into the header) after you rotate the bezel about 1/4 turn. When it gets hard to rotate the bezel with the visor - you need to start pushing up. There is a plastic piece on the top of the visor rod (the part that is inside the header) that has a triangular top. The triagular top needs to align between the 3 upwardly extending walls that are on the trim piece in the header. You push up to allow the triangular piece to jump over one of the walls to get into proper alignment to "fall out" of the header. When it is properly aligned it will fall out. The resistance to turning you feel is the triangular piece pushing against one of the walls. That is why you MUST push up. If you don't, the triangular top will break and/or one or more of the walls will break.

By the way, when I finally installed CD version of the service manuals I found out that you are supposed to push up on the visor. Guess I should have read those before I did the job.

Moral of the experience: You can't always trust the "Tech Tips" to be correct/complete.

If you break the visor they are about $50 at Fred Beans.

Good luck.

 

i got it...thanks for the replies.
