imagine even when leathered covered the stickers are still present?
I've removed my visor stickers. Some denatured alcohol, cue tips, and patience and they will peel off in one piece. They may still be vinyl, but at least they don't advertise ugly with those yellow stickers.

The seatback stickers were much easier to get off. The ones on the visor are a very thin vinyl applique; almost bonded to the visor itself. The ones on the back of the seats just peel right off. Go slowly. Any remaining adhesive is easily removed with a very mild solvent (I use Stoner's Tarminator) and then use something like Meguiar's Qwik Detailer to clean it all up and leave it looking nice. Enjoy your drive and stay safe!

mike, sorry to OP, off topic for a moment. how are the rockers wearing? considering having mine painted (now an option) and thinking i ll clear bra them (replace as needed with the wheel wells as a consumable). i recall my buddies RS's rockers were beat up in no time.

Chris, I assume you mean the side skirts.....wearing fine after 2700 miles, no obvious marring. Of course they're black plastic so I can't say if they would look as pristine if they were painted.
