Stainless Door Vent Visor Removal - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Can someone tell me how to remove the stainless vent visors on the doors without breaking the clips? I did a search and can't find anything. Got a parts truck with them on it and want to take them off and put them on my truck. Thanks for any help.

They pop off fairly easy. Just have to work them back and forth a bit. I have never broken a clip removing them.

Do I just roll the window down and pull down on the visors evenly and they pop out of the window channel or ? I just don't want to destroy them.

You'll never break one of these clips, I think they are made of titanium or something! (probably stainless or ? but very tough)

You should be able to just pull the shade right down and out. Pull from the back curved area first as the front has a lip that goes into the upright channel. I do it all the time in the junkyards with no problems. Then just pull the weatherstrip out and use a small screwdriver to get the clips out.
