Default C5 Sunvisor Removal

Can someone please help me figure out how to remove my sunvisors? I know I'm a noob here and sorry to be a pain, but I have done a forum search for this and keep getting results of items for sale, or for C6's and C7's. I would like to remove the visor so I can repair it (floppy and the mirror is broken) without breaking it further.

Thank you to all who help me!!

Screw driver in the slot, rotate the visor.

Yes. Although, in reality these can be VERY hard to get out. Good luck.

Keep trying. I used some very unpleasant words, had a few and the passenger's finally released. Then on to the drivers' side. A few more words and one more and it finally released and came out. Me, I decided I liked not having them in with my vert and did not replace although I did buy new ones in case I decided to put them back or sell the car.

I replaced the visors on my old 98. First visor can out pretty easy but the second visor I took about a 30 minute break and then the second one came out right away. Sometimes I think God is bored and likes to mess with us.
One thing I learned having the visors out, is I can see better. Since I'm 6'4" I took them out of my daily driver.

It is amazing how something that should be so simple to do ends up being a PITA.

They can still be a B***H to remove, even when you done it before!

Sometimes a good sturdy fire axe comes in handy.

My Achilles heel is windshield wipers. No matter what vehicle it is, they are always a struggle. I'd rather yank an engine instead of replacing wipers!
