Remove Sun Visors

[Baconaire]

They are ugly, the mirrors are broken and I don't use them. Is there a way to separate the sun visor from the bracket the top seats in when closed short of cutting them. They seem inextricably married via the rod that binds them. I'd like to have the option of reinstalling if I sell. I want to keep tha brackets but lose the visors.

there is a cover at the inside/center mounting point. Remove it an you'll have access to inside screws The outer mounting screws are visible.

I am almost sure they are Torx, but I'm too lazy to go down to the garage and check.

See http://mike.focke.googlepages.com/randrcenternuts and scroll down to the section titled Removal. Each side takes less than 5 minutes. Since the visors only pivot up and down, and not side to side, you have to remove both the inboard and outboard ends.

Yes but I want to remove the visors semi-permanently. I know how to remove the whole assembly, but I want to be able to extricate the visor from the convertible top landing points. The post of the visor goes into these out outboard brakets and is encased by the braket and there no indication of what is keeping it there. If given it a good hard tug and they are securely in place. I do have one last idea which is to unscrew them.

You can pull the visor off the post. But the post remains connected to the bracket that screws into the windshield frame.

In the worst case, you can replace the mirrors. The unlighted ones are $20 apiece new.
