Remove sun visor stickers?

[dustintinsley]

Anyone have a reliable way to remove the huge stickers on the sun visors without damaging the visors?

Gently with a hair dryer or heat gun and you’ll eventually be able to pick at and lift the corner with your fingernail. Just be careful to slowly warm it so it only gets just hot enough to make the adhesive pliable again. There will still be a very slight outline where the sticker was but in my case it wasn’t sticky so I left it alone instead of trying to clean the fabric further

I've been debating doing this all summer. Thanks for the inspiration.

Done!

It took all of 15 minutes to remove all 3 stickers. There is a slight glue imprint left but I'm confident that I will figure a solution to that in the near future. It's so much better than those loud, ugly stickers that takes away some of the beauty and elegance of the cab's interior.

Thanks, OP.

If you figure out the glue imprint please post your solution.

Yes, this is my concern. I need to figure out a way to get rid of the glue also.

I will try some of this this weekend. I will perform spot tests on the other side of visor first. I'm not sure if this Ferrari visor is cloth, leather or what.

Ferrari is leather. The 2nd video may be vinyl sun visors? But isopropyl alcohol should work as long as it doesn't discolor the clothe.

this may do the trick also.... need a steam cleaner....

I've been meaning to do this ever since I got the truck, thank you for the reminder! Took them off today.

As for the "residue", I'm not actually convinced that it is a residue after all. I believe that these are applied to the visor with heat. And I think that what you're seeing isn't so much a residue, as much as it is melted fibers. I attacked it with goo gone as well as soap and water, scrubbing with a cloth and a brush, and it made no discernable difference.
EDIT: Ignore that... Apparently I just didn't use enough elbow grease the first time. Went back at it with the goo gone again, and made a noticeable difference. I can still see a faint outline, but maybe that's because I need to attack it even more.
