Default Window visor warning stickers

Those warning stickers still bug me. I couldn't figure out how to peel them off. It seems they are melted into the material. GaaaaHHHHHH!

I'm with Dirty Harry on this. My wife got pro-active on the one in the passenger side of my last vehicle with predictably terrible results... Once you've gone down that road there is no return, so I'd say make a decision now (keep them, or professional removal) and go with it!

Default Blow Dryer

No need to profesionally removed them.....just get a blow dryer.....put it on high.....put it close to the sticker, but not right on it. This will start to heat up the adhesive so you can start to peel it off after a couple of minutes of heating. I did this to both of my visors and got all of them off. Hope this helps......

I wounder if a heat gun would work with this.

What happens to the adhesive that is left on the visor? It will leave some on there, if not a whole bunch of it. How would you go about removing that? Because after time, dirt will get on that and it will be all nasty and sticky..

I took a lighter to 'em just enough to warm up and they came right up. A little goo gone for what was left and then carpet cleaner and done. First one I didn't heat up and it left a hella mess and pain to clean up. Heat first. There's another thread in here I got this info from.

Diito! I don't even notice the visor anymore, let alone the safety stickers on them.

I also agree with this! If you are using them when driving into the sun, i bet you can't read the label anyway!

That said, I hate using the visors, I even hate it when passengers use them. I like being able to see out of the whole windshield. I always say, get some good sunglasses
