Default Lund sun visor removal, how does it come off?

Hey all

I have a Lund visor on my Jeep and I'm not really a big fan of it. It also seems to hold water that eventually starts to smell and my Jeep tends to leak a bit from where I'm guessing it's bolted on (assuming that's how it's held in place). Does anyone know how these are usually attached? I want to remove it but would like to know what I'm getting myself into before I give it a whirl.

Thanks

edit:
not sure if it helps, but what I'm trying to remove looks very similar to this:

lol, we'll see. i wanted to try and sell it if i get it off in one piece. do you know how to install it? what i'm afraid of is extra holes being in my roof now where it looks like this thing is bolted in place. if that's the case, i don't really want to remove it.

one last bump in hopes someone who has experience removing one of these missed my post... if bumps/double posting isn't allowed, sorry, but someone needs to keep the mods busy

I've got one on my jeep, but I don't have a problem with it holding water or anything.

And not sure how it comes off, I'm assuming you're gonna have holes in the roof and sides where it bolts to.

If you're concerned about it holding water you could drill small holes in the bottom lip of it for the water to drain. Just a thought

I kind of want one of these for my Jeep too, not that I really like the look but Bubba fixed the old windshield leak at some point with about a full tube of silicone caulk. You know, it must have been leaking through the sheet metal at least 6" back from the window. Rather than spend hours with a scraper I was thinking a visor would hide the ugly rather well. For now the ugly is just out there for all to see as I have more important things to fix...

drilling drain holes might not be a bad idea. i'll look more into that. i'm not exactly sure what i want to do with it but am afraid of opening a can a worms i don't want to deal with right now if i try removing it and something goes wrong. unfortunately, almost everything i've done with this jeep so far has ended up going horribly wrong lol.

i'll post some pics of it to get some ideas of what you guys think on the look of visor. i also need to order a new front header panel but finding one in my jeep's color is going to be tough. i would like an opinion on what other colors people think would work.
