Unless you want a major headache, I wouldn't. But there is a techtip, but I can't seem to see it. Short answer put a screw driver in the slot in the inner bezel and lever it outboard till the visor drops. Now this usually results in a broken inner bezel and the purchase of a new visor. Good luck.

if you look at where the sunvisor is mounted to the windshield pillar you will see a "collar" with 3 notches in it, you insert a screwdriver into one of the notches and turn the visor with the screwdriver, the visor should pop out.

the drivers side visor gets turned counter clockwise and the passenger side gets turned clockwise.

I have had both my visors out wthout breaking anything.

It's not hard at all, but if you turn the visor the wrong way you will break the bezel.

I agree with the above, but you have to turn the screws with the visor in the correct position, and at the same time put a little downward pressure on the visor.

I would suggest you do a search under Window Valet, made by Top Down Technology. They have excellent instructions on this procedure.

Good luck.

Good post. It's nice to know that they unscrew in different directions. Great stuff.

After the visors are removed could you bend the visor or reposition it so that it is angled upward about 5-10 degrees more? I have noticed that by lightly pushing forward on the visors reduces the buffeting at speed in my coupe.
