Ricer is Nicer.....
Gone....
Gone.
Acetone.
I always keep the visors down, and they show as yellow blobs on each one. However, they did leave a slight yellow stain....I'm working on that.

Is it a legal requirement to have those warning stickers if you have an airbag system in the car?
I know no one would ever give it a second look, but I was just wondering if they were.

GOO-GONE (tm)
Orange oil based adhesive remover. Took some work with cotton *****... but once a little corner was up, the rest was easy. It doesn't stain... just makes your car smell like the citrus section of a produce market.

I like the goo gone approach. I hate those stickers. I wound't like a lingering smell though- WOuld it make sense to take the visors off and out of car before treating with goo gone, then washing off really well? or is that too much work. Did the smell ever leave? Everyone comments on how great my car smells with the leather.

damn... they just peeled off with no residue? Mine were freaking super/hot glued on and I bent my thumbnail back trying to peel the sucker! Goo gone worked great... as usual. And it cleaned up the adhesive really quickly... just smelled strong for a few days.

Another approach so that you don't have to look at the stickers is to simply cover them up. I velcroed on a pair of visor CD holders.
Increased storage space. Increased aesthetics. No smell. Cost <$10.

Now that gives some stupid a$$ thief even more reason to break into your ride...but hey thats cool...
Also if more of you plan to do this with adhesive remover...do it NOW>..i heard that they are stopping production and removing adhesive removers from shelves due to it's highly explosive nature...heard this from a friend in the FBI..it's part of this whole new Homeland Security BS stuff...

I thought about going to the local instant sign place and getting 2 small squares of matching grey vinyl and just sticking them on top of the yellow ones. Mine are almost like silk screened on, no edge to even get under to start peeeling off.

I tried to remove my driver side sticker
bad idea
I used goo gone and acetone with a razor blade and it didn't move at all
I ended up buying two stickers to cover the driver and passenger stickers

Big PIA, but worth it when done.

Could it be that there are two types of stickers? It seems as if some folks had "stickers" while the rest of us have "silk-screen" - like labels that are darn - near impossible to get off. I have the latter and have had no success. Does anyone know of some thin-profile flat-panel speakers that can be mounted there?
