the trick is to get those plastic velcro pads loose with something like a ruler or something thin first, that way you dont break it pulling on it. Also, when removing it from the dash, it helps to have the a pillar covers removed so you have a bit more space to work with. The pad will flex a bit, even if it's old, but don't flex it too much because that plastic gets super brittle since it's in the sun all day.

lol no i wish it did have some sun visors. well when i took mine out i didnt reasize that the a pillars have to come off so it literally exploded. once i took the pillars off, its just patience. very slowly, pop the pad up no more than an inch. then putting it back in dont force it. get it in the right spot, and gently push it into place. i held my breath, it was like disarming a bomb lolol.
