Default Visor Grey Ghost Fix

Howdy, I read the posts about removing yellow tags and glue residue. I used my hair dryer and removed the tags, the temprature was not hot enough to disturb the glue even when using a small brass detail brush.
Today another test, I used my iron set on linen and placed a diaper (a old diaper with no nap ) on the visor 30 seconds of ironing and the ghost was gone !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hope this works for others. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for all the posted info !!!!!!!! Love my Vette
Regards
Harry

Just tried that ... it was hard to hold the diaper up there while I tried to iron it with the hot water dripping down from the iron.
