SLC Headliner trim

Does anyone know how to remove the headliner trim that goes behind the visors. I have removed all the rest around to the rear window and realize that they are held in place by small clips that slide into slots in the roof but this piece has the mirror involved and I can't see a way to get it out. Any ideas?

For those that care, here is how to remove the trim around the windshield in an slc. The trick is to remove the mirrow. It comes off just by ripping it forward and down. It is held in place by a cleaver little set of spring loaded pins that are designed to break away in an accident. Once the mirror is gone there are 3 screws that hold the mounting base that must be removed. Next remove the thin metal trin that goes along the front edge of the sun roof. It has 4 small screws in it. Run a small knife or the like along this edge to seperate the trim from the frame. It has stuck after 25+ years. Before you pry down on the trim run a putty knife or 'wunderbar' between the front trim (the one you are trying to take off) and the trim that covers the door post. Ease the edge of the window trim around the top of the door post trim. Pry down on the window trim until you can see all the way to the front. The trim is held in place by about 8 small felt pads that are glued to the roof. These pads will come apart as you pry down. To reinstall-reverse the video.
