Default window visor removal

parting out my 2GS, I've got the Toyota Aristo window visors, and as you know they're held on by clips and a type of adhesive. Was wondering if anyone had any ideas how one might remove these.

Fishing line or floss. It might help to heat up the glue a little with a hair dryer first. Don't underestimate how hot the blow dryer can get. You might melt the plastic. When my first GS was totalled, I used a screwdriver. Don't use one of those.

i would suggest leaving it in the sun for a bit if you can depending where you live to soften the adhesive. then run fishing wire through anywhere you can get it. the clips just sort of hook over, so if you can run the line through to the clip, unhook it, then continue running the line till the next clip, unhook etc you should be right.
