I'd love to hear any suggestions on this one also... Mine have been on since April, and I hope it's not too late to take them off somehow. Anybody??

Just pick at a corner until you lift it, then just rip away. I did mine when the car was just a few days old, so there were no problems at all, and you can't see that they were ever there. I'd assume that the longer they were on, the more difficult they may be to get off ...

I did mine the day I brought it home from the dealer. No problem, just pulled off once I got them started.

If yours have been on for awhile, you might try warming them up with a hair dryer to breakdown the adhesive a little before pulling them off. Good luck! If they are not needed, they are ugly! :chevy :flag :chevy :flag

Hot Ride,
Removed mine after 4 years by just slowly peeling them off. No problem!
P.S. Don't stretch the fabric. Pull parallel to the sticker/fabric.

After a while, I could see where the stickers were, but after a quick vacuuming, like new!

Good luck.

Heat gun on low helped after 5 plus years.

Don't apply too much heat or you can melt the fabric. Use a hair dryer for lower heat instead of an industrial heat gun. If there is any residue left you can use Goo-Gone or adhesive remover to clean it up. If the fabric is damaged or discolored during the process use DupliColor fabric paint and the visors will look better than new. Note: I have only used fabric paint black visors.

Since the question was asked in 2001, I'll bet they are off by now!

Slowly start a corner then use hair dryer on the sticker~5" away, as you slowly peel.

The operative word is slowly.,

I used a hair dryer to remove the visor stickers from my 98 C5, no problems at all

FYI, Corvette Central, plus others I am sure, sell a cover to go over them for around $15, I got a set for my 2016 and you would never know that they were underneath the fabric cover and took 2 minutes to do.
