Default Sun Visor Decal Removal

I just purchased a 2019 F-150 Lariat and I would like to remove the gaudy safety stickers that no one reads on the sun visors.
I tried a heat gun on them but that didn't work.
Has any one found a clean way to remove them without damaging the material?

Mine also, but was never able to get the very faint "glue print" off the light brown cloth/material. Tried several "ideas" read here and "worked for me's" but I was not successful.

You can see the "glue print" in the right light.

There is a member on here, sorry I don't remember who, that is making interior colored stickers designed to cover them up. It's a much better solution, in my opinion, than tearing up the fabric.

I removed mine, with the help of a post somewhere here, but I honestly don't remember what I did. Just remember removing the visors, and doing the removal inside my house (it was in summer). Thinking about it for a minute, I must have used my wife's hair dryer. And since the visors are fabric, I must have used 'Goo Gone', since no way I'd use 'Goof Off ' in fabric, and neither on vinyl, as that stuff is nasty strong. My visors are probably 95% removed. You can only tell the 'shadow' under certain lighting, and only when looking for it. They're practically invisible. MUCH better than the awful stickers. I'd honestly leave the covering option if removal doesn't go well. Just be patient with the Goo Gone; you have to apply it lots and lots of times with a microfiber and soft brush, until the glue is removed from the deeper ridges of the fabric. Just wait between applications, or you might distort the cardboard used inside if you get it too wet. It can be done, so give it a try . Good luck.

Anyone know of a tinted plastic to overlay them? I’m not crazy abt the cloth overlay personally - think just “tinting” ‘em would look better myself.
