Removal of Air Bag Warnings from Sun Visors?

I'm trying to figure out how to remove the ugly yellow and white air bag warnings from my 2018 E400 Coupe's sun visors. With my previous cars I was able to do so by heating the warning stickers with a hair dryer, which loosened the glue that held them in place and allowed me to peel them off (followed by a bit of Goo Gone to remove the remaining glue). However, that hasn't worked with this car — the warnings seem to be part of the visor itself rather than something glued to it. Has anyone figured out how to do this without damaging the visors? If so, I would greatly appreciate your wise counsel.

I peeled off the stickers from my W211 just as you described. On the W213, like other cars lately, the warnings seem to be printed right on the visor itself. I would not mess with this label.

I'm pretty sure they are silk screened on at the VPC when they arrive stateside.

If the air bag warning can't be safety removed, I may consider simply covering it, a solution recommended on other forums.

I found this site: https://www.sunvisorsolutions.com/home.html

Thanks a lot. I hadn't even noticed those freakin' warning labels until you brought them up!

You could always get the visors covered in Nappa leather at a local car shop...

Do you know if the cars delivered in Europe have the airbag warning? If they don’t, you maybe able to order a pair of visors from a dealer there.

Good suggestion. I suspect that Mercedes' European versions don't include the warning, but I also suspect that the cost of buying two new visors from a European source would be outrageous.

This has bothered me ever since I got my W212 in '09. Regret not removing them before now. I checked out your two sources. The second one doesn't really have anything that interests me and not sure how they would work on the labels. Appear to be standard vinyl decals that go on the outside of windows and non-printed sections are clear?

The first one sounds better, but unsure as to what color to get. My car has a gray interior. Apparently can get a sheet of material and maybe cover the whole side of visor with the label on it.
