  4. Lower the right hand visor (3), unhook and swing forward.

    Do not pull trim all the way off from the vehicle. Just enough to disengage the attachment clips (1) on each side.

  7. Adjust receiver (1) down. Do not adjust receiver all the way down to the bottom (2). The panels will over compress the windshield seal and increase latching at the front.
