    So I decided to remove those ugly airbag decals on the sun visors. I heard a lot of horror stories but I gave it a go anyways.
    This is a very simple task, and will not harm your visors in any way.
    Step one: Remove the visors so that you can work on them outside.
    Step Two: Make sure you have a Full bottle of plain ole household rubbing alcohol. Also have plenty of rags on hand.
    Step Three: This is what you need to start.

    Step four: Pour the rubbing alcohol directly on the sticker, all over it. Don't worry about getting it all over the visor, it will clean up just fine.

    Step five:Let the alcohol sit for about 5 minutes, go ahead and dob the stuff that is running all over the visor if you want but leave the alcohol on the sticker in a pool.

    Step 6: After about 5 minutes have passed, get your fingernail and on one of the corners of the sticker keep trying to get under the sticker. Do not pull up on the sticker yet, just try to get the corner to come up just a little.

    Step 7:OK, now pay attention, once you get a small corner to come up, DO NOT PULL ON IT YET, you will tear it and have to start all over. Brab a hold of the corner and start pouring the rubbing alcohol on the sticky side of the sticker, keep it very wet while very gently pulling on the sticker. You must keep an almost constant alcohol supply as you pull. If it gets hard at anytime, stop and put more alcohol and rub it on to the back side of the sticker and pull without tearing the sticker. Keep it wet with alcohol.

    Step eight: After you get that ugly ole thing off, jump and holler a few time cause you just succeeded. Now get some glass cleaner and clean up both sides and re install.

    Oh, these were on the vinal type of visors, do not try with the cloth type, or leather.
