Visor recovering

I recovered the headliner in black suede (big job but do-able) but cannot figure out how to recover the visors. The mirrors seem to be hardwired through the visor to the mounting bracket. The only way I see to disconnect them is to un-solder the connections. It's hard to see in the photos but does anyone have any experience with this?

So here is what I did. You do not disconnect the wires for the mirrors, just cut a square in the fabric and slip the mirror through so it is on the outside of the new fabric. Use spray adhesive to attach the fabric around the edges of the visor, re-install the screw holding the mirror in place and then fold and snap the visor back together. They came out great!
