2012 E350 Cabrolet
Removing ugly visor air bag stickers

Just bought a Cabrolet with 2,000 miles on it. I want to remove the intrusive bright yellow airbag stickers. I can't tell how the are adhered to the visor. On a Lexus I had, I was able to remove from a soft visor with the heat from a hair dryer. And a Chrysler convertible fabric visor with goof off.
Anyone tried getting them off these rigid visors?

~ I got really lucky and one of mine visors broke on my 2015 E400 coupe and under warranty the dealer ordered a replacement and it arrived without the ugly factory air bag decal... So in order for them to match, they ordered the other side and now I have NO yellow decals. Much cleaner looking! So if they aren't too pricey...

But how do you access the vanity mirror when you need an eyebrow trim?

Have you tried using a hairdryer to heat then peel them off? I was going to try that later this week.

2012 E350 Cabrolet
A CD holder isnt and option because it a convertible (plus old school CD's should be burned to your cars hard drive). I've carefully (and slowly) used a very hot hairdryer on other cars air bag stickers on soft leather and material visors and it works great. I'm just not sure about the manufacturers application of the stickers on the cabrolet hard material visors. May give it a shot this weekend.
Let us know how you make out, and what kind of material yours are on.
