Default Need help removing sun visor from C5

I have a Convertible C5 and the sun visors are destroyed. Anyway, I wanna replace them but I have no idea how to remove them. Can anyone explain to me how to remove them?

Also, can someone also explain how to remove the side plastic on the windshield? They're destroyed too. The Plastic that runs along side the windshield from the inside.

For the sunvisor...

I've never removed an A-pillar trim, but do a search for a-pillar trim removal or something of that type.

The trim around the windshield is supposed to pull off using your hands.

Really, the trim around the windshield just comes off by hand? Not surprised, most cars are like that.

Thanks FirethornC5 for the link. Surprisingly detailed.
