We recently picked up a 2008 EX35 w/22k miles to replace my wife's FX35. It seems that a known issue is that the doors covering the mirrors on the sun visors tend to snap off. I've got a pair of new sun visors in hand, but am having a heck of a time getting the originals removed.

There are 2 screws which are holding the visors in place, and a trim cap covers the screw location. I don't want to apply much more force to removing the cap as I don't want to do any damage. Anyone got a tip on how to get the caps off?

I spoke with an Infiniti parts dept gal and she gave me a suggestion (push backward on the cap while trying to fit something under one of the locking tabs), didn't work for me.

Thanks in advance,

-John
 
It should pop off without any damage. You probably just need to use a little more force. I've taken the visors off a few different Infiniti's and haven't broken one yet.
 
Yes, just used a small flat head and it pops right off. IIRC, slot it in between the cap and the headliner and it should come right off.
