91% isopropyl alcohol (must be 91%) Microfiber cloth or similar Patience 1: Take the cloth, soak with 91% and rub sticker back and forth (not rubbing sticker off but just soaking it with 91%, reapply new alcohol to the pad and keep rubbing (alcohol will evaporate and not be as strong) 2: After maybe 1-2 minutes you should be able to peel off the sticker in one swipe.. 3: If it comes off in pieces, it will leave residue behind, to remove residue soak with 91% again and after 30 seconds of soaking then rub the cloth harder against surface to remove, but not hard enough to stretch the "pleather". 4: Now you dont have those tacky visor stickers anymore!

I have factory leather visors in Carrera Red on my Spyder. As much as I would like to remove the nanny sticker, I am worried about damaging the leather with something like 91% isopropyl alcohol. Has anyone had a good experience removing the warning label from a leather visor and what have they used?

Why take a chance and damage your sunvisor with chemicals trying to remove airbag warning labels, buy the cover-ups .

Thanks rijowysock, this looks like it works great on the standard visors. I had the leather visors in my last Porsche and always wanted to take them off but was afraid I'd damage them and never tried. The Porsche.com configurator doesn't even show leather visors as an available option on the 991. If the leather visor option got killed off I will definitely do this removal on my next car.

the "airbag light" however, electrical tape all the way because it's annoying and too bright at night. |

Saludos, Eduardo Vail Valley, Colorado Just take your time and use something like brake cleaner to break down the solvents in the stickers. Just take your time and apply in small amounts. Treat the area later with a good leather conditioner. |

I cleaned those off my natural leather visors several years ago (997). The materials are essentially the same.
