Default Visor Removal?

I did a search and no luck, how do you remove the visors without damaging them?

Flip down visor
Put slotted screw driver into the plastic bezel where the visor rod goes in. There is an indentation there.
Rotate the visor to the door, when you do the bezel will rotate w/ the screwdriver and it will pop out.
Wiggle the wires to allow the connector to come out.

Little bit tricky, just be careful with the screwdriver tip.

Just like this, its a neat process when you see it happen

Id use a paper towel under the screw drivier because you will strip/scratch the plastic if you arent careful

Hey man, the visors suck to remove, I did them on mine and Yellohhh's. Be careful twisting the visor with the screw driver in the plastic ring, it will crack! Also make sure you use a towel to protect that metal bar from the screwdriver... not a fun project
