How to Remove Warning Stickers on Visors

Ok for those of you who are dealing with this atrocious eye sore on the visors and want to take a chance at removing them heres what to so...

First off you must dedicate at least 45 min to each visor in order to do this, maybe shorter if you know how to actually remove the visor from the headliner. Your arm is gonna feel sore after reaching up and doing this but heres the steps i took and my results look great!

Materials- Goo Gone (or any adhesive remover), Tweezers (or a blade which I didnt use) a dry cloth and a bunch of napkins.

Do this at your own cost... I did mine looks great but if you are picky you will get very unnoticeable alcantra hairs sticking out but the more time you spend the better it will look
1) remove the plastic coated sticker with the tweezers very gently trying to remove as much of the glue as possible.

2) now you are left with the warning sticker imprinted on your visor, take the goo gone put some onto the washcloth and rub the sticker on the part your ready to remove (not the whole sticker because it dries and then you will just be using to much substance)

3) with the tweezers or the blade gently begin scrapping the sticker towards the center of the sticker to avoid spreading the sticker to the clean alcantra area. You will notice the sticker forming into a black glue which you can pick up with your tweezers apply to you napkins to clean tweezers. This is repeated until all the sticker is removed.

4)remember at first your going to be nervous like you are making a mistake but after the sticker is gone you'll be glad to have that annoying sticker gone and out of your life. This takes time and dedication toward the goal, my arm got tired so i did each sticker on separate days.

G.l and any questions feel free to email me Blinkbass23@aol.com

I took mine off with WD40 on a rag and then washed the WD40 away with Windex.

I used similar techniques to get rid of mine as well.

1. I heated the stickers slightly with a blow drier. I think this enabled me to peel them off mostly in one piece.

2. Pulled the sticker off very slowly in the same direction as the "grain" on the visor fabric (the grain is upper left to lower right if you look carefully). A lot of glue stayed behind. A small amount of the sticker remained on the visor.

3. I put a large towel on my lap, and poured Goo Gone onto a small towel and rubbed in the direction of the grain. Some of the sticker pieces had to be picked at with my fingernails (left a lot of glue on my fingers), also working with the grain.

4. After all visible glue and sticker pieces were gone, I used an old tooth brush soaked with Goo Gone to brush off the remnants of the glue.

5. Used blow drier to dry off the Goo Gone. I used the tooth brush again with more Goo Gone until it was no longer tacky from glue residue. Blow dried again. Total time: about 30 minutes for the first one, 20 with the second. On the first one, if you look carefully, you can see that the fabric was a little disturbed where the sticker used to be. On the second one, there's no trace of a sticker ever having been there.

Good info, thanks. The correct 'goo gone' is the citrus one in a plastic bottle, not the industrial strength in a metal container?

Yes, citrus one. I didn't want to use anything too strong for fear of damaging the fabric.
