Default Help. Removing sun visors?

You guys haven't let me down yet. I'm fairly tall and find the visors nearly at eye level. My view is drastically improved if I swing them out of the way. Is there a way to remove them without disassembling the trim around the windshield? Mucho thanko.

Put the blade of a fairly heavy screwdriver in the slot where the visor attaches to the windshield header and turn the visor and screwdriver at the same time toward the side window. It will unsnap and drop down. Then you can unplug the visor and stuff the plug back in the hole. It's pretty easy.

Gotta love this CF

How tall are you? I'm 6'4" and have no problem with visibility. I guess I just lower the seat a little more.
