I should have just looked a bit harder on Reenlist. It has been done:

FYI: Suncoast and Sunset can order Euro version visors without any stickers on them. The lawyer lobby seems not as sue hungry there.
I like the Alcantara ones (stickerless) and got those already. Have not installed yet. I had the plastic ones and wanted a more upgraded look. |

It was just as easy as described.

Alcohol method worked for me too. Although if you look very closely you can just make out outline where it used to be. I assume it will all blend over time, but if not it doesn't bother me.
I wonder if it would be noticeable at all if done right after delivery (mine had nearly 2 years on it when I did it). |

Just did mine today as well. Did it on all 3 cars! The 16 X5 took forever but the 911 was smooth as glass easy! :rockon:

Just wanted to say I completed this procedure today with leather sun visors on my GT4 and worked like a charm with no issues! Thank you to all for the great insights.

That's great to hear! I just got my 991.2 a month ago and I have leather on my visors but was worried. I have the 91% rubbing alcohol. I'm assuming you left your visors on and used the soaked towel method?
I folded up a paper towel to match a little larger dimensions to the label, then soaked in 91%, rotated the visor so that the label was facing up, placed the paper towel on the visor and wrapped with a grocery bag and sealed. I let it sit for 20 minutes. Definitely start at edge and move towards inside. Second one was quite a bit more work, but I think it was because I was not patient and didn't start with edges. I then used leather cleaner afterwards and they look great. There might be a small amount of residue, but better than a big label :-) |

Correct. One of my visors was unbelievably easy. The other took more time. I'm not sure what I did differently between the two, but you need patience :-)

Be careful not to leave the alcohol on for an extended period. It has the potential to soak in and effect the adhesive that attaches the leather/pleather to core of visor. I did this on my right visor. It took a few days to get back to normal.

FAIL FAIL FAIL!
As you can see in the top right corner, some of the leather came off. I soaked it a good amount and let it sit 20-23 minutes. Using my fingernail only to scrape of the decal. I'm having a hard time getting the rest of it off. Looks like I'm ordering another set of leather visors :banghead: |
Thank sucks!!!!! I wonder what might be the cause of it working for others but not for you. Mine came right off. Sorry to hear.

Heck, I might just go with Alcantara instead |
