how do you remove the sun visor ?

Car is a 2002 S and I purchased a used drivers side visor to replace the one with the missing mirror cover. The outboard bracket is a no brainer there are screws but how do you dislodge the inboard holder ? I don't want to break the old visor just in case it's needed in the future. I did a search and all I found was how to remove the mirror cover/flap. It's a lighted visor if that matters.

there's a small flap covering the last screw which can be released w/ your fingernail or a trim removal tool.

Word to the wise... DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN the outboard screws upon re-install.

See my post #2 in this thread for complete details

Good luck
