Coat hanger/windscreen visor plastic clip removal

[bjbrownie]

Is there an easy way to remove the sun visor plastic clips and the coat hanger ones above the door without damaging them? Failing that, is there a place that does replacements-I couldn't see any in the ESM catalogue.

The one above the door is not a hanger, it's so that you can rotate the visor to the side and avoid the sun when it's off to one side
They are fitted by pressing the centre pin in, which the splays out small struts that hold it in place. To remove you would have to get something in the frame behind the clip in order to force the pin back out. However, I've never seen anyone able to do that, and the usual method of removal is to punch the pin right through and then remove the clip. The pin might eventually work its way down to the bottom of the A-Post, but it's small and plastic, and won't do any harm. Replacement clip[s are available from Newton Commercial, but I have also seen them from ESM, Bull, Birmingham, etc. Have a look round the stalls at the rally.

Thanks LouiseM, I didn't look close enough in that section! Not too worried now if I break them, careful as I am when removing bits like this.

ah yes the ones on the top of the windscreen area but not the other type along the top frame of the door area
