"Before I attempted to remove the visors from my car, I was researching the procedure, and not coming up with any instructions, so I had to go in blind. I decided to write this so anyone considering removing their NC visors will know how easy it is! My passenger side visor was broken and in the down position all the time, and the driver's side one was starting to get loose, that's why I wanted them out. I don't find them useful anyway. I have the "official" MX-5 sun shade, and you don't need the visors to hold it up because it fits fine, so that's not an issue if you use one.
Anyway, instructions:
You're going to need at least one Torx driver for the 4 visible bolts that hold the metal brackets in, that are just above the pillars, and the 2 recessed bolts that are hidden under the visors. You will also need a "regular" sized Phillips head screwdriver to loosen the clamps that hold the visors in place.
1.) Unlatch, retract, or remove your top at least enough so it's clear of the top latch point.
2.) Remove the 2 metal brackets with the 2 visible Torx bolts before you attempt to remove the pillar trim. Hold the bracket with your free hand when you're loosening the last bolt. I learned the hard way, one fell off and out of the car and got marked up when it hit the driveway.
3.) With both brackets removed, you can remove the pillar trim. They can be pulled off without tools. Work them loose top to bottom, try not to pull at any angles or you could break the fasteners. When it's loosened up, just pull it off.
4.) Now you can remove the overhead trim. Use a Torx driver to remove the 2 recessed bolts, under the visors. 1 on each side. Pull down, on the trim piece, but only hard enough to make it come off the frame, or you risk breaking the wiring to the center light. Once the trim is off, you can disconnect the harness to the light, but I left mine on because those are a pain the remove. I just held the trim piece with my free hand, rather than let it hang. The rest is easy...
5.) You will see a small screw near the "inside" of the hinge, inside being to the center of the car. Use your screwdriver to loosen the screw holding the clamp down. The clamp is attached to a piece of plastic, and all will come loose once the screw is out. Mind you don't loose the small square nut that the screw is threaded into. Now the visor will come right off.
6.) At this point, do whatever else you're going to do for your project, and reverse the steps to put everything back together.
I'd say the whole thing took me about 15-20 minutes, if that. Good luck!"
