Question about removing the moonroof visor

It looks fairly simple to take on and off at your inconvenience... how difficult would you say it is, or can it be done? I don't wanna mess with it and break it, sometimes it's nice to have, othertimes I just don't want it on.

If you are referring to a roof mounted visor, I can help. If you mean the inside sliding visor, just slide it open. Dont take it out.
To remove the roof visor, it should either be done on a hot day in the sun or using a hair dryer to heat up the double faced tape. Pull gently and slowly, starting at one end. After it is off, there may be some tape left behind. Go to a local autoparts store that sells body shop materials and buy a decal eraser. It attaches to a cutoff grinder and makes it very easy to remove the tape and any other decals without harming the paint.

Removing your moon roof is freakin hard. You need to take aprt liek your whole roof your lining and than the mechnics of the moon roof
Than you need to fill in your hole and everything. Damn sounds complicated already hehehhee...... i hope i'm talkin about teh same thing.

yeah, I'm talking about the wind deflector. what's the purpose of having that tape there anyway.. just to protect the finish of the car?
