Re: Drivers side visor snapped and radio stopped working...
The antenna is a wire mounted inside the visor. If you don't want to put in a new visor, you can remove the wire and attach it to your headliner or at the top of your windshield.

Most commonly you'll have two screws where the visor attaches to the roof. Remove the cap / cover with your finger nail or a butter knife with a thin towel (like a t-shirt) starting on the edge towards you, don't overly force it. The cap will pop off one clip at a time (small snap sounds). Get the first snap and then work around the cap to pop the others out. The cap will pull back towards you and you'll see the two screws. Remove the screws and the visor will come out (pull it down with light force if needed).
I have the same issue and when I unscrewed the drivers side sun visor I didn't realize it was connected to wires. I unfortunately pulled about 3-4 inches of the wire out unknowingly but I realized that when the radio stopped working so don't do what I did ok? Did you ever find a way to keep the visors in place?
On the plastic cover take a small screw driver and pry one of the open ends, in other words if you look at the cover carefully it is shaped like a U, pry on the top right side of the U to un-snap then rotate or twist the cover to remove.Then you can get to the screws that hold it into place/
There are two little plastic pins that snap against a spring steel clip and these have broken off.. - for @ $180.usd you can replace the unit.. or we applied two small velcro discs ( ask at any hardware store) under the mirror and cover and that seems to work fine. They also make adhesive magnet strip that might work. A fix that we used for a few weeks was to clip the garage door opener on this visor..it held it in place nicely. Good luck
