How do you replace sun visor pads with out damaging the new pads. I see the rod is bent so the pads will stay still. Do I need to straighten the rods before tempting to but on new pads.

David,

I can't recall ever seeing a bent sun visor arm. I wonder is this might have been an owner adjustment for a freely flopping visor?

That could be the ticket Tim; both of mine were bent in a wavy way that it just looked factory. The old ones pulled off hard and after destroying a new pad just wanted to make sure before straighten the rod.

I should of none this by now. The USA and the Over Seas measurements are not the same. After straighten the rod on the American bracket it still would not go in to the new pad. Try putting back into the original pad and went in to easy. I had to end up shaving down the rod to make the two countries come to gather again.
