I did this with my rear window hinges. Using my (clean!) fingers, I was pretty sure I could feel the screw holes and the distance apart from each other. To verify, I went to the other side to see if I could find those holes in the same location and the same distance apart. Lightly marking with pencil, I then took a small needle and took the plunge, so to speak, hoping a needle hole wouldn't leave too much of a mark if I was wrong.

 

But I wasn't. 

 

Good luck!

I did it similar to NYNick, I marked where I thought the holes were with pencil then I used a sewing type of tape measure to compare the driver side to the passenger side if it was symmetrical, and also if the distance between the holes matched the clips and visor base, if the distance from the edge of the window seal was the same on both sides etc. And then once you punch through the headliner to put in the screw there is a little bit of wiggle room with the material if it's off center slightly. If you're scared to puncture the headliner use a thin needle first. And once you find one it's easier to tell if the other one is in the right spot.

And one of those search threads may reveal what happens if your screws are too long ;-)
