removing airbag warning stickers from visors

(sorry if this isn't the best forum for this, but it looked like a good match)

I have an alcantara headliner and would like to remove the airbag warning stickers from the visors (also coated in alcantara). I gently started to peel away the corner to see what reside would be left, and it looked like it would be extensive, so I quickly reaffixed the sticker. Does anyone know how to get these off without leaving evidence on the alcantara?

You will have to soak the labels with goof off applied with a cloth and rub gently once it has had a chance to soak in. Don't be alarmed that there is some of the adhesive on the visor, just change the cloth, put more liquid on it and rub again. I always followed it up by applying it to the entire visor once everything was removed in order to avoid a stain.

You've got my attention- the little I know about Alcantara -

Do not use steam, solvent or spirit based cleaners (particularly perchloroethyene and trichlorethylene). But if it works for you...
