Can someone please post a pic of the mounting points for their sun visors? I recovered the headliner and didn't mark or redrill the three screw holes before re installing.....and you're correct, I don't really want to remove the headliner now that its in.....G body Malibu by the way.....

Cut the middle hole out and line up the mounting position of the sunvisor base. then as Greg pointed out, use an awl or icepick to locate the holes. Sometimes you might even be able to feel them with your fingers.

I would head to the wrecking yard, cut out each corner on the headliner and then match the edges to the new headliner and mark off where the holes are....or take a take measure with you to measure off the location of the holes

Tighten the Phillips screws where the shafts go into the visors. Simple as that.

Isn't there a plastic sleeve where the mount pin goes into the visor...perhaps those are worn out or missing?
