I have removed the ridiculous warning from my 996 which has the standard sunvisor. Do I use the same method (alcohol) on leather, or will it damage the leather,

again,thanks

 

I think steaming it off w/ an iron and light cloth works better, no?

 

There is a guy on eBay that sells a sticker that goes right over the warning. He also sells different Porsche and Carrera graphics too. I did it this way and you can not even tell.

 

If you look very closely at your visor after using alcohol to remove the sticker you can see the vinyl surface is slightly marred (from the bonding process?). I think this would be a much bigger problem with leather.

 

I have removed it from my natural brown leather visors. Worked very well. It was not simple, necessarily. Whatever you wind up using as a solvent, obviously test it well in a less noticeable area. Most of what I used was elbow grease. I also did the same for the opposite side, but wasn't pleased with the finished look, so I masked them off and resprayed them with that Krylon plastic bonding paint (black).

I'm somehow thinking that I used either that goo removal stuff and/or brake cleaner. (The brake cleaner is not good for most plastics--they will melt).

 

agree with MMD. Asking for trouble on an expensive part.
If i had to get rid of the sticker on a leather visor, I would pony up and buy the euopean versions

 

When my ex wife was working as conservator at a major European museum they used mineral spirits (if I remember correctly)to restore old works of art made with leather. Sooooo, you can try mineral spirits (not paint thinner) and hope for the best.

 

On the leather side of the visor, I was able to just peel the sticker off without using any solvent. The sticker had many small slits in it that would not allow it to peel off all at one time however. But in less than 5 minutes, I was able to remove the entire sticker. No residue was left over either.

 

thank you
