Default Sunvisor stickers...

Anyone found a good way to get those annoying things off without damaging the visor?

Take them to the appoistery shop. They'll probably reskin them and you'll have no warnings.

I took them off on my mustang and on a corvette. You cant even tell there were stickers on it.

Take a blow dryer and put it on maximum heat, then just put it about an inch away from the sticker, when it gets hot peel it away while you are using the blowdryer to heat it up. If it gets harder to pull off, then just keep the dryer on it longer and concentrate in one area at a time,

I did it from left to right, and when I peel it up, right where it makes a 90degree angle from pulling the sticker up, I point the dryer on the crease and slowly pull...

i tried taking the ones off my passenger visor when I first got my car. I got one of them off but it was alot of work and it still left a mark. The other two ugly yellow things are still there [&o]

I will definately have to try this. Did it not leave any sticky residue?

Things like this just annoy me, because I see it when I'm driving, and then I start concentrating on not seeing it... I had an '02 Eclipse a while back, and it had a black interior with a light tan headliner, visors, etc... It drove me crazy. I constantly found eyes drawn to it, especially at night. I finally yanked it all out, and dyed it black... So, much better...

I got them off my 06 with a hair dryer, careful not to use too much heat or you will melt
the glue into the fabric. It also requires alot of patience, about 10 -15 minutes per sticker/
just work a tiny bit at a time
