Does anyone have a good way to bend the sun visor brackets without breaking them???? I have a 56 with new aftermarket brackets and one didn't survive

Don't try to bend them while mounted in the vehicle or you are certain to snap off the mounting ears. Bend only the rod; don't exert pressure on the mounting bracket. Don't ask me how I know...
