    I've heard of people removing them using steam or goo gone, but I've always been afraid to try it. I'd rather look at stickers than a messed up-visor.

    I tried to just pull off the driver side one a long time ago and ended up fucking up the fabric pretty bad and not even getting the sticker off... so I took it to the dealer and said that the whole visor was sagging and I wanted it replaced under warranty. I'm sure they could tell why I really wanted it fixed with the corner of the sticker hanging down from it, but they gave me no hassle...

    Mine peeled off after time.

    I'm sure you could peel it off with a heat gun, but you're gonna have to find a way to get the residue off. I don't care enough because I honestly could care less house my ripped up, cracked, and beat up interior looks like.

    Fabric or vinyl? I used a hair dryer to soften up the glue, and peel them off of my vinyl visors.... Took about 30 minutes for each one, and you have to be VERY careful not to stretch the plastic too much, but there's some room for error. I had thought that I had permanently stretched the vinyl, but as it cooled, it shrunk back to it's original size, so that by the next morning you couldn't even tell. There is a very slight outline from where the sticker was, but it looks better than the sticker. Unless the light is just right, and you know where to look, you can't even see it.

    EDIT: I've never tried it on the fabric, so I'm not sure if this would work or not.
