How to remove sticker adhesive from fabric sun visor?
I have been doing a lot of searching and research through the forums and didn't find much helpful information on how to remove the sticker adhesive from fabric visors. I have a 2009 cls550 and the previous owner removed the stickers a while ago but it looks like there is a rectangle faded/white area on the visors which looks like the left-over adhesive that was never removed. 
So how can I remove the adhesive carefully from the fabric visor without damaging, pulling, tearing or discoloring the fabric? Any suggestions??

Nah; I use it all the time for goo removal and it doesn't leave a smell, foul or otherwise.

They all sound like decent ideas....here is a pic to show you what i'm dealing with. It feels like there may be a very thin layer of adhesive on there but i'm not sure...what does everyone think I should do?

No, but you can still see a very slight outline if viewed at the right angle of where the sticker was. I doubt you'll find anything to make the impression completely disappear. Also, Goof Off is more toxic so don't let it soak in.

new airbag sticker
I ended up going to the dealer and buying a replacement sticker for $7....i figured it wasn't worth ruining the visor and making it look worse. Yes, it does have the sticker on it but at least it's not an eye-sore anymore.

Smart move, a new sticker is much cheaper than a new visor. On an older Benz of mine I used rubbing alcohol and it worked, but I could still slightly see a light shadow where the sticker was previously located.

Go figure... Today the passenger side airbag sticker fell off the visor. But, this is on a S550 MERCEDES. First of all, I hate these stickers to begin with, but now that it fell off, the area is darker and the glue from it the visor left a perfect square. I guess I have to put this ugly thing back on? I can't believe there isn't a SAFE way to clean the visor fabric so we can just leave it off..
