sunvisor problems, cant get it back on

I took the driver side visor off to swap them around and hide the yellow stickers. Problem is, I cant get them back on! Is there a trick to it? I hate it because the truck is brand new (I have made on payment so far). I dont want to have to buy a new visor for $65 plus shipping to Alaska.

HELP!

It came right off very easily. This is frustrating and embarrasing. I have swapped trannies and axles with less trouble!

Maybe you could give us some more info. How did you remove it? What seems to be the problem?

It slipped right off the "mounting bar" with little effort. Now it wont go back on. It feels like there is something in the way, but I cant see anything. There are some flat spots cut into the bar, but I cant find what they are for.

At this point I am pretty much resigned to ordering a new assembly and replacing the whole thing.

I have never taken a visor off the bar, On cars with a second visor under the main visor there is a piece of spring steel on one side of the hole, you have to start it kind of crooked to compress the spring, then it will go on. I don't know if this is case but it's worth a look.
