Get it super wet with a towel. Really soak it. Wait a few minutes. Peals right off.

PRO TIP - Peal very, very slowly, and you will get the entire sticker with a single effort. After pealing, you have to hit it again with the alcohol.

In the end, from an angle, I have to look REALLY HARD to see a faint outline of the label. Otherwise, I see nothing.
So did you remove the visors from the car? I have the stupid sticker covers and they're a bit visible as well. Would rather do this.

Nope. I just sat in each seat and did it. It was easy. The trick was pealing very, very slowly from left to right.

Yeah, I thought from the beginning that sticker cover was not the right path forward, and I was right. Very happy with pealing them off. And since our cars are newer, it is likely much easier at this point.

Interesting, I have vinyl sun visors on my 2020 Spyder, I would love to banish the airbag stickers, I wonder if these will come off as per your instructions...

I don't think that you have anything to loose. If it does not work well, just put another cover over the remaining sticker.

Does anyone have experience on how to remove the stickers from the leather visors?

Speaking of stickers.. Here is a "mod" for everyone who left their screen protectors on. I put some black electrical tape over the yellow triangle in the corner.. 3-2-1 bust my *****.

That did run through my mind! Knowing me I would cut it crooked and it would look terrible, haha.

Wait - is this the original factory plastic 'remove before flight' film still on the car? And you've taped over the section that's intended to be used to remove it when delivered?

Wow, this forum will never cease to amaze me.

Right tool for the job

Hehe. I did see these but I prefer matte and couldn’t find a matte screen protector so I left the original one on.

I still dont understand the problem this is trying to solve for. I have never seen a scratched screen.

Probably not if you already have the smoking package. I believe the door in the upright position would throw off the connection required to charge.
This is also not a great solution for manuals
