Default Homelink Mod

I have all the instructions to complete this mod and I fully understand what I am doing (it is pretty straight forward). However, I cannot get the damn visor off. I have the visor forward and pushing the flathead (in the slot) toward the driver window.....but the thing just will not turn. I bought the car used and noticed the visor is acutally bent up a bit, but I dont see how that would affect the roatation of arm that needs to come off.

Any help would be a huge help at this point.

when the screwdriver is inthe slot,rotate the visor and screwdriver counterclockwise as a unit. It should fall right out. Hope that helps.

thanks I have just been pushing on the screwdriver and not rotating the visor. I will try that tonight.

I figured it was something simple I wasnt doing.

I'm also having trouble getting the visor off. I inserted the screwdriver and am turning hard with the screwdriver and mirror. I feel like any harder and something will break. I have already left an impression in the visor arm due to the pressure being applied. Any other tips?

I used a shot of WD-40 to get it to work.

it came off very easily for me... just insert the screwdriver into the slot and then rotate the visor towards the door, and it will come right off.
