    Sticker on visor - removal?

    Hi. My mother-in-law recently purchased a new ES330. She hates the bright
    yellow airbag warning stickers on the sun visors, but has had no luck
    getting them off (and obviously doesn't want to damage the visors).

    Anyone had any luck removing these?

    I hate them too.

    Do you think there are people out there, who read their visors each day,
    before they start their car ?

    It seems to be just another legal CYA notice we have to live with, like:

    "Coffee in cup may be very hot".

    They can be removed by careful use of a hair dryer to gently heat the sticker
    while pealing off starting at the edges of the sticker. The adhesive is
    something else again, let me know what you think works best.

    Maybe it's easier to find a nice sticker and cover the ugly one.

    I've seen some cars that have ugly bright yellow airbag stickers PASTED
    on the wooden dash. I've even seen such cars in general circulation and
    not just at the dealer--i.e., the person who bought the car has not
    removed the stsicker, presumably because they cannot without damaging
    the wood. I would not buy such a car unless the dealer removed the
    sticker without any trace of glue residue. Ridiculous.

    I've had good luck carefully and slowly pulling them up by the corner while
    using a hair dryer or heat gun to loosen (but not melt) the glue a tad. On
    the feltish material of the visors, it sometimes leaves a very, very faint
    outline where the sticker was (probably due to the nap of the fabric being
    affected rather than any actual glue left over) but you really have to look
    closely to see it. Unless the underlying material is vinyl, you really want
    to stay away from any kind of solvent which would make a mess. Even on
    vinyl, I'd do a test.

    I think it really helps to catch them as early as possible. I'm sure once
    they stay on there a while, the glue ages and makes it more difficult.

    - Mark
