I've tried Google and RLB search, with no luck.


I cannot figure out how to remove the plastic clips that holds the sun visor ends near the rear view mirror. I have the 3 Torx screws loosened at the other end of the visors and am attempting to install mounts for a Whelen inner edge. I need to remove the plastic clips near the rear view mirror to install the mounting brackets underneath them. They have a little tab that looks like a snap clip, but I can't get anything to happen when applying light pressure.


Your help will be greatly appreciated.


Okay, with your help, I have this figured out. To help others, here are the photos showing how these come off a 2011 Silverado 1500WT standard cab:

The clip is actually hollow. There is a little cover over the screw head. Use a small flat head to pop this cover off.

Matt,


I just posted a photo. Where do I insert a screwdriver to pop this cover off?
