Default Visor airbag sticker removal

I just removed the airbag stickers from a replacement set of visors I purchased on eBay for my convertible. They arrived dirty as would be expected. I sprayed them heavily with “Oxi Clean” carpet and upholstery cleaner. I had to go over them about 3 or 4 times, but there’s no more sticker evidence left! They turned out rather nice.



After the first scrubbing



Final scrub



Nice and clean.



No more stickers!



Excellent Cleaner. This stuff will clean any upholstery. I’ve used it on all my vehicles

OP mine will not come off and I tried to remove the stickers without removing the visors. Is this possible? Did your stickers just pull off and you used the cleaner to get the glue off? Mine are really stuck on the visors.

First, I soaked the visors with the Oxi Clean and scrubbed them. After a while I just grabbed the corner of the stickers and they pulled right off by hand and it take much effort. Maybe it was because the cleaner penetrated the cloth and loosened the glue.

Sounds good I will have to try that. I didn't soak mine before and I hopefully they will come off this time. Thanks!

Nice job getting those stickers off. While there may still be a very faint outline of where the stickers were, you do have to look very closely to see it.

I didn't know about "sunvisor solutions", so came up with my own. Sorry no pics but I found a roll of carbon fiber patterned contact vinyl for $7.00 and cut to shape. Covered the 2LT visor stickers, ugly white brake master cylinder, and that little metal circular vacuum thing and everything looks great! I hated those visor stickers and now I'm modded out...!

Great, but a lotta work; whereas, my wife made a pair of slip-on black covers.
