Default Removing the visor Warning Stickers

I know this is nothing new, but today I removed the warning stickers on the visors of my 98 GS4. I hated looking at the huge waring stickers, but I was afraid I'd leave a mark on the fabric if I pulled the sticker off as the previous owner had pulled a little corner up, but decided to stop because you can see the adhesive sticks to the fabric. Well, with the sticker being so big and brite AND a corner already peeled back I decided to go for it. Here's how I did it:

DIY Difficulty Rating on a scale of 1-10, I'd say this is a 1, so there's no excuse to be riding around with HUGE warning labels on your visors anymore.

Also, this is for the folks with cloth visors and sticker type warnings, sorry guys with a silkscreened warning label.

First, remove and unplug the visors...very easy.

I pulled up a corner of the label while holding the cloth tight to the edge of the sticker (you don't want to stretch out the fabric).

Unless your car is brand new, you'll probably have adhesive residue on the fabric:

Apply a small amount of acetone to terry cloth, and rub it out...I can not tell that there was any adhesive on the fabric.

You may use whatever you like to remove the adhesive, but that's entirely up to you. I used acetone and a terry cloth...I highly recommend the combination, it worked suprisingly well. Just don't use your chicks pink acetone from her nail polish drawer.
