Not sure what thread you're referring to, but I remember posting some photos of the sun visor clips in a thread. It might be the one you're referring to. If not, I've attached them to this post.

From memory, I think someone mentioned that they are very tight fitting (you can see the lugs inside the cap), and you need to use something like a pick tool to remove the cover, and when they do release, they do so suddenly. Just a thought, but you might be able to use two picks along one side, using the first to prise the side next to the first lug, and then the second one to prise the side next to the second lug, whilst at the same time gently pulling down with the tools, freeing up one side, and then the second side should come off a lot easier.
