Remove airbag warning labels
Anybody know how to remove the airbag warning labels from the sun visors without leaving the glue behind?

After a couple of years, my pax label just fell off of my 2010. The stealership accomodated a request to remove the second one at the next service. Don't know what they used, but it left no trace.

I have this 2010 E550 that I bought about a year used and clearly these warning stickers in my car are not from the factory. They are way too close to the edge of the visor and on the passenger side the sticker is severely crooked. It is obvious that these stickers were installed later and probably at the time when the car was CPO'ed for resell.
It seems the first owner was able to remove the stickers without leaving glue behind.
I can easily pull the stickers off but it leaves some glue on the visor. Should I just remove the stickers and let the glue dry and then just "dust" it off?

I used this method on a previous Porsche I owned.

It worked very easily.
The method warns of a ghost of the sticker, but I did not see one. This might be an age/sunlight issue as the area under the sticker is more protected from sunlight and dirt, etc. My car was nearly new when I did it, so less of an issue.
I'm not responsible for screwing up your car if you try it. Have you looked into getting new visors?

GOT IT! Removed my stickers in 5 minutes with NO CHEMICALS. (cloth visors)
I used my wife's hair dryer (lord knows I haven't needed one of these for about 15 years).
Set it on HIGH for about 4 minutes, and the label started to lift.
Got it off in two pieces - no glue residue. Second one off in one piece.
Now - go out and SPREAD THE WORD!
