Default C5 Visor Connector - UGH

OK, so after 30 minutes of trying to get the connector apart, I am about 30 seconds from getting the nippers!

Any suggestions on how the "bleep" to get this apart or what the "bleep" I am doing wrong?

(Sorry for the upside down pic - I am new at this - LOL

I'm laughing as I remember that clip being a PITA when I removed my visors in my Vert. If I can recall, I used a very small screwdriver and pried each side apart gently

I finally got it apart - like you I had to use a little flathead screwdriver to get them apart. I really didn't want to break it. All is good! (For NOW - lol)

It may be easy with 2 people one doing what the clown is saying here the other one pulling it apart. Robert

I wish some of the other stuff on my C5 was built as well as those visor clips.
