It was a pretty easy process.

I first rotated the visor so it's in line with the door trim.

I proceeded to use a trim removal tool. You need to be careful and just target the edge because the edge is right next to another part that is not able to be removed without twisting which will come later. I had to pop it on two or three corners before the cover finally was able to be removed.

Next, there is an Allen wrench screw that needs to be removed. To access this screw easier, you can extend the visor all the way towards the rear seats.

Then, I collapsed the extension on the visor when the screw was removed.
You have to then Twist it for it to fall out.

Proceed to unplug the molex.

I tried to use 91% on the sticker and it did nothing at all. Just jump straight to the heat gun. The first visor I tried to do the heat gun process while it was still attached. It was too difficult to do that. But once removed, and from the start on the second visor, I started with a single corner and waited until just barely began to see warping of the visor's plastic. I stopped immediately and began to pull from that corner. It took three sessions of heating with the heat gun to remove the sticker completely.

Cleaning the left-over residue was pretty easy. I used a Costco microfiber cloth which turned the residue green which helped me to locate anything left over. I used that 91% on a cloth. I didn't pour it directly on the visor because after the first time, learning it just ran everywhere, it was just wasting it. By this time the warping caused by the heat gun has gone away. I just targeted wiping diagonally with the grains in the visor until gone. It took a little elbow grease. The visor can handle the punishment.

Once clean, and all the green is gone, just reassemble and enjoy the pretty.

Waiting for someone to chime in to the thread and tell you this voids the warranty.

According to the US Federal Trade Commission, removing stickers cannot void warranties in the USA.

I know there are other threads about it. Thanks. I was just giving my two cents on the subject.

I put removing the visor stickers somewhere between the warning label on the hair dryer (don't shower with this dummy) to the warning sticker on the mattress or cushions (do not remove by penalty of death). ;) I fear removing any of them....the label removal police are going to come repelling out of helicopters to arrest me. :p

First, thank you for not posting a YouTube video...

91% what? Beet juice didn't work. I tried V8 but it also didn't work.







Oh, 91% alcohol...

I did mine, patients and little heat. I did put just a little too much heat on the passenger one, and it wrinkled a little bit. Not too bad. That is why I started there and not on the drivers side. The hardest part is to get the glue off, once the sticker is removed. Alcohol and rubbing, and rubbing and rubbing.

To remove glue residue, use "Goo Off". It is made with orange oil so it will not damage the material below the glue. And it smells like oranges!

I really don't understand this at all. Why do I need patients?

What is Goo Off?

There is Goo Gone and Goof Off, but nothing called Goo Off.

This is much like removing the labels from a mattress. Prison is just not for me so I have to pass. But thanks for the info anyway.
It's only against the law if you are selling the mattress (direct or middleman). The consumer is allowed to remove the tag without having to worry about the mattress police.
