I tried heat application on our Trailblazer and it didn't work well...left residual residue.
There are vendors (CF and EBAY) that sell various vinyl appliques that go over the oem stickers...

I have seen people say they balled up some duct tape (sticky side out of course) to clean up any residue

A hairdryer should loosen up the adhesive and then you can slowly pull it off.

Might get some sticky stuff left behind after the sticker is removed, end up making it worse. Why take it off ?

I posted my "cheapest mod" a few months ago on this very item.

You just start getting one corner loose with your fingernail and when you have enough loose, grab it and pull. No residual, no damage to the fabric on the sunvisor.
