Homelink visor removal question (MY 00)
As I write this, I am trying to remove the visor, so that I can tap into the Homelink power.
The trim cap and the forward mounting screw are removed. I pretty much expected the visor to drop down from it's own weight, once the screw was removed. But it seems to be hung up inside, on the visor visor/headliner trim cap's non-screw side. Have been trying to gentle rock it to get it to release, and I don't want to yank it and risk pulling the out the wires. Anybody have any tips how to get the visor to unseat? Thanks.

Thanks. Just figured it out. A Molded retaining shoe holds it in place.
It was not apparent from some of the photos I saw posted in the tech section. But there is a molded retaining shoe on the other side of the trim cover, which holds the visor tightly in place. You have to (carefully) rock it out with some force. Now the fun-part. Less room in there than I thought. Now on to trying to snake a couple 22 gauge wires to the right, destination moonroof housing....
