Default Sun Visor install/replacement...

I've posted this on the Z06 forum too, but maybe someone here has some more ideas or some sort of PDF document or scan of a manual. I just got some visors and I couldn't figure out how to get the old visor off without damaging something. One suggestions was to use a large screwdriver pry it down while I turn the visor. Any more ideas? Thanks in advance, guys.

I don't have anything in PDF format or printed besides the manual. You definitely DON'T want to pry with the screwdriver. You will need one though.
If you would like you can give me a call and I may be able to walk you through it. I have sold a few sunvisors where the customer took it to the dealership because they couldn't get it changed. It is very simple if you know how to do it (it does take a little practice though!).

Thanks,

Mike

Go to the top header on the screen, click on "OTHER" and select "tech tips" from the drop down box. In tech tips look for "Sunvisor removal instructions". If you need more than this email me, I wrote them 3 years ago!

Guys, I just figured it out and got it installed. It was kind of annoying to do, but if I had to do it again, it wouldn't be a problem. The tech tip really laid it out for me. A million thanks, guys!
