Default Removing the stickers on the visors??

Has anybody removed the stickers on the front visors ( those things that fold down with mirrors ). Those things are just plain ugly and I would like to remove them without damaging the fabric. Anybody know a good technique??

Not sure about this, but I think It's against the Law to remove those warning Labels!!!

I removed them. It took alot of patience and time though. Basically you have to gently scrape them off or pull the pieces off little by little. What I did was use a heat gun on a low setting, and I forgot what I used to peel them off, but then used Goo Gone to get the rest of it off. From what I can tell they are just decals that are heated onto the visor. I was able to get both of them off with no problem but it was a pain in the butt.

That label is painted on..and should not be removed...How Mikey did it, (God only knows with his dented roof and all)should remain a mistery.

OK I need to check it again. I may be getting it confused with my xB but I'm 99% sure it was the H3 I did this on. It was some kind of decal and I slowly started peeling it off little by little until I couldn't anymore so I pretty much soaked it with Goo Gone and slowly but surely got it off. UNLESS, again, it was on my xB. I'll take pics and post them to show you it's not there (if it isn't)

That's what happens when your wiring a home theater system, drilling holes in your walls, writing a book and working all at the same time. I can't WAIT to have kids
