I just peeled mine off. Suede made it easy.

Heat them with a hair dryer and pull them off. Use Goo Gone for any glue residue.

That's the exact process I followed to remove them on my '13 427 Convertible. I'm hesitant to try it on my '17 Z06 with the suede, but phantasms says it was easy, so I may give it a shot.....Don't want to screw them up, because these puppies are expensive!

Mine just peeled right off. Looks way better I think. I did it the first day so I don't think they were stuck on as well.

You guys didn't read the fine print did you?

That is a warranty voidable offense. And just gave GM lawyers and easy out.

Would they enforce it? Probably not. But if the safety information on those stickers could have avoided a life-threatening injury, well.

On my 2015 non-suede they were on their 2 months before I took them off and they were difficult even with heat. They also stretched the visor cover somewhat and I never could get all the residue %100 off no matter how much goo gone I used. End result they still looked better with them off.

On my 2016 suede they had been on there a year and came off really easily with heat and what little residue they left came off easily. I finally found a reason to like the suede upper option.

Seems moral of the story is take them off the first day you get the car. Hopefully it's a fresh part. Mine came off as if it was static cling that first day.

The 1st mod done to any car I buy is to remove (or cover) the visor warning sticker(s). I refuse to look at some governmentally required caution label which does not apply to me written in a language I can’t read!

Hey, its like the tag on your mattress. Take off at risk of receiving penalty from the mattress police.

I ended up covering the safety stickers with a carbon fiber looking vinyl material. Worked out great.

Because the last thing you want to remove is a tutorial to remind you that the safest place for a baby seat is in the back seat of a Corvette.

I'm not too worried about the sticker police locking me up or voiding my warranty.

I took mine off. I did the drivers side in the car, then I took the passenger side out of the car and used some dry cleaning solution and and iron. Wiped the solution on the label and then put a towel over it and steamed it with an iron. The label came right off, then steamed it again a couple of times to get the balance of the residue. It looked so good, I took the drivers side out and repeated the process to get the residue off. They look great.

Why are you trying to read your visor stickers while driving? I could understand if you were trying to keep up with the varying dash displays and "heads up" displays in the various driving modes, but I never considered the visor warning stickers to be all that much of a challenge.
