In Canada we have these bright labels on the visors warning of air bags and such that are very distracting when I drive.

They are stuck very well and I'm wondering how others have removed them without damage to the surface of the visor.

If you search, you will find several how to threads on the subject. Most often folk remove them using a hair dryer to heat the label and, once removed, use some goo gone to clean it up. I covered mine with decals from C6Decals, a forum vendor.

 

I removed mine. It was very easy with goof off. I didn't use any heat but it was summer in florida so.......It it's 40 deg. where you are I'd use heat.
It takes a little patience (ok...more than a little) and several applications. When I finished there was a very slight color difference where the label was so I dusted the visor with flat black laquer in an airbrush but I think most would be satisfied just removing the labels. The whole job took about an hour. I think the results are worth the effort.

 

The key is paitence


I ended up going the Dsvettes route and recoveing the entire visor

 

Best way to go!

 

concur ... less work, and neat conversation topic ...

 

I used a hair dryer and brush. I see no signs of them ever being there.

 

First off, for some reason I was unable to remove the sun visors so it made much more difficult doing it in the car. Plus the interior got some steam..no big deal. My girlfriend used the hand steamer for about five seconds (use a cloth between the steamer and visor!!) , then got out, and I went in to slowly peel off /remove it. Got some peeled off and then repeated that process. Once off, there was some tiny white speckled glue spots here and there, particularly at the corners. We tried steaming it off again, to no avail. Tried 91% isoprpyl alcohol and that removed most of it and then I used a bit off goof off to get the rest. I got it all off, but, I did get some coloring on my cloth. There is a bit of grey washout color on one visor in one upper area where the sticker was and from the goof off. If you shine a Surefire flashlight from the passenger seat to the drivers visor while in the garage, you can see that washout but its not noticeable while driving the car in daylight.

The visor is some kind of poly spandex material which made it more difficult removing glue than "wool" type fabric. If I had to do it again, I probably would not have used the goof off. But you must really remove the sun visors! Another idea is maybe airbrushing a couple thin coats of black paint over it. I did that on my Jaguar XK light grey plastic sun visor where the warning was embossed on! That turned out perfect. I am not sure how airbrushing would look on spandex though. For the vette, I am satisfied, and while it did not turn out 100% perfect (and trust me, I am a perfectionist so I give it a 95%) , it was well worth getting rid of those stupid yellow stickers.

 

I cut out some flat black vinyl sticker material (ebony interior) and just covered up the airbag stickers... this way zero chance of damaging the stock visor. A flat black sticker looks way better in an ebony interior than a white and yellow sticker. You can get vinyl sticker material in tan and light gray too.

 

Our first and funnest mod so far

 

Leaving mine on. The time it would take to remove them I spend driving it!

 

I found the coolest thing to cover up these ugly visor decals!! There is a guy that makes vinyl decals that match your car and fit perfectly over the stock decal. They look great!! They fit perfectly. They go on in about 15 seconds. They are cheap!!! They look especially good on ebony/black sun visors. You can choose the design you want, but there is one sorta funny one that says something like "...this Corvette by Chevrolet will go from zero to sixty miles per hour in 4.2 seconds. It has a top speed of 186 miles per hour. So sit back, fasten your seat belt, and enjoy the ride..." Personally, I like the ones that match my car. For more info, or to order, go to

BTW, I am not connected to the guy who runs this web site; I just bought his products, including his dash plaque, and I'm very happy with it.

 

Where did you get the vinyl sticker material? Hobby store?

Thanks!
