98' S90: Replacing driver side Sun visor - HOW TO? S90-V90

I got a new sun visor to replace the old one with broken support spring.
New one has a wire about 2 feet long with a connector at the end. Where does this wire go to?
I see the two obvious screws holding the visor in place, but how do I remove the trim to replace the wire. Does it go down the A-Pillar, or elsewhere under the headliner. How to remove the A-pillar trim - no obvious screws there? If it runs under the headliner - how do I get there?

Tried to look for greenbock on volvotech.com, but searching for the service manual with "body", or "interior" didn't find anything.

Thanks,
-Michael

Do you apply makeup while driving at night? S90-V90

I assume that wire is only to illuminate the make up mirror, a nice convenience. My advice is leave it off then you won't be tempted to explore your feminine side.

I used the "chainsaw" method.Pulled the fuse for that circuit,remove screws,pulled some slack up the a-pillar,cut the wire,covered with shrink tube and soldered.
Much less trouble than car dis-assembly and wire fishing.

I've thought of that, but decided to at least try to do it "right". It does run down the A-pillar, then?
