Removing the rear sun shades...

I've read the DIY, but I do not understand where the flathead needs to depress a certain clip. Does anyone have a pic that diagrams this? Thanks, I really need to get this window regulator fixed.

I don't have a pic so this may be a useless post.

if my memory serves me, the pin needs to be depressed up. The ideal tool for this is a right angle pick.

Oh actually I can do you one better than a picture. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y25x6gIIgPE

big thanks to BSW.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Just installed my wife's X5 window regulator. It took good 3 hours cuz I was careful and took my time. Spent 30 minutes trying to take the rear sunshade down...I watched the BSW video and took it off in 5 mins. I saved $$$ cuz bought it off ebay for $66 and installed it myself. Couldn't have done it without this site's DYI and this video.
