"Squishing" worked on mine, but be really careful - the visors are very tough, but once they start to compress, can go too far and jamb them permanently, according to the mechanic that did mine! Also, protect the leather with something between the vice jaws, or whatever you use to do the squishing!
If I recall I peeled back the leather before squishing mine but don't trust me - my memory is not what it once was
PS. I also ground back the excess flattened part of the rod to very close to the diameter of the head of the mounting screw when in the hole. This was because the latch of the EasyUp hood kept catching on the end of the rod. It looks better finished like that too.
