to take off the mirror/light assembly you take out the covers for the lights and there are 4 screws-2 on each side.

Brent,
I agree with Pete. It would make a great tech article. I've been looking at my ratty sunvisors for years, trying to either figure out how they're put together, or take them to a shop. I've been afraid to try to pry the halves apart, figuring I'd just destroy them. I was going to try just tucking the new material into the gap between the halves with a putty knife - glad I didn't try that! Keep us posted.

Guys, I've done this job and it is a huge Royal PITA. Some visors will just snap apart, others won't budge and would rather committ suicide (break) before they co-operate with you. There's no one-size-fits-all procedure. Pick one up at a junk yard and experiment with it before you start working on the ones you're going to use in your car. I've been lucky and found some real decent ones at the JY that I could use. But if you must use your originals it might be worth avoiding the frustration by taking it to a pro.

The local interior shop I went to told me they pulled the old cloth and pad then tucked the new in the glued seam,
