Push it to the side (can't remember left or right) and then lift out from the opposite side.

On mine you pull down on the long edge furthest from the visor. Have a dodgy iphone pic I will post in a sec.

You can see a sort of spring clip. No tools needed. Just pull down on the long edge nearest to you.

(Facelift here if it makes any difference)
