Removing sun visor retaining brackets

My original headliner finally gave up last weekend so I need to replace it with some new material.  I've removed the sun visors but not sure how to remove the plastic retaining brackets close the rear view mirror.  I don't want to break them so I figured I would ask the group how to safely get them out so I can remove the headliner board.

Thanks in advance!
Dan

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

I'm close to the Eastgate Mall if you know where it's located.  I'm also not too far from Coney Island.
