You can position the head liner into position and press it upwards towards the pins - remove the headliner, and then drill the holes into the headliner, and then locate/cut/drill the hole you have to make for the visor spring/mechanism. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 204 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 204 |

If yes, can you pry off the "nuts? They are not original. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 204 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 204 | what are spring nuts? i'm going out side to see if i'm missing something .I will see if I can get a picture of the back | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 | If they are not spring nuts, maybe someone else will try to discern/guess what they are.
They are not original.
You might have to break/cut-off the "posts/pegs", if you cannot turn/pry-off the "nuts"?
