Replacing 380SL w/ A/M sunvisors

Ok, I finally broke my driver's side sunvisor's plastic male retaining tab. I was considering gluing tab, but then decided to replace both sunvisors. My sun visors are deteriorated on the inside. They are puffy and not full and stiff boards.
I just ordered replica sunvisors from Performance Products 4Benz. They come with the plastic tab, but requires the metal arm from original. This is fine, I need to tighten the rods anyway. They are quite loose at the ball and socket. I understand there is a screw under the cover plate that runs across the top of windshield that will tighten the ball.
Has any one done this job, and is it difficult? It doesn't seem to be. The hardest thing to do, as I read, is to remove and re-install the rear view mirror.

Just installed my new sunvisors. It was quite easy, took only half an hour total to replace both sunvisors. It was nice DIY project for a first timer, and looks great. The hardest part was to remove and re-install the existing swing arm from old sunvisor to new sunvisor. As the A/M sunvisors do not come with the swing arm, but it did come with the plastic tabs that go into the receiver in upper trim.
Everyone who has old deteriorating sunvisors should do this project. A/M visor were about have the price of OE, but still quite expensive. $110.00/ea plus tax and shipping, about $248.00 total.
