I read a thread not to long ago on this subject but cannot find it now. I looked in the DIY threads but it is not listed. Can anyone help with this?

You could try using the search function by typing in "visor decals" and see what turns up - I'm sure there's something on this forum but if not, here:

What you will need:
91% Isopropyl Alcohol – Common rubbing alcohol available from your local drug store.
3M General Purpose Adhesive Remover
Some paper towels
Vinyl Protectant such as Meguiars NXT Cockpit Shine
Sunvisors

Time to remove the 2 stickers from a sunvisor: less than 30 minutes.

Process:

1. While this process can be done with the sunvisors in the car, it is best to remove them and do the removal on a flat surface. To remove a sunvisor, no tools are required. Simply twist and pull the sunvisor off of its pivot arm. It will slide right off.

2. It is best to remove the vanity mirror and light assembly from the visor. This is because the alcohol can run down inside the sunvisor, and if it is left there, it can discolor the plastic. I also put a piece of paper towel inside the assembly to catch excess alcohol.

3. Take a piece of paper towel and fold it to the size the sticker that you are removing. Wet the paper towel with the alcohol and place it on top of the sticker and let it sit for at least 10-15 minutes. Keep the paper towel wet, but not too wet that the alcohol runs off of the paper towel.

WARNING: Don’t use any solvent stronger than Isopropyl Alcohol. Stronger solvents will discolor the vinyl and plastic that the sunvisor is made of!

4. After 10-15minutes the sticker decal will have softened, and is ready for removal. Using your fingernail, gently loosen the sticker on one end, and start pulling it off. Patience is the key here. Take your time, and gently pull off the sticker in one piece. If it starts to tear, and is still sticking to the sunvisor, back off, put the wet paper towel back on, and let it soak some more. You are doing it correctly when you can pull off the sticker in one piece.

5. After you have the sticker off, there will be a gummy residue left on the visor. Use the 3M General Purpose Adhesive Remover to get rid of that residue. When you can rub your hand or a rag over the sunvisor and it does not stick to it, you are done with that side.

Because the decal is applied with heat, there is some distortion of the embossed grain on the vinyl side of the sunvisor. This will leave a faint outline of where the sticker was. Polishing the vinyl can minimize this outline.

6. Next do the other side, same process.

7. After you have removed the decals, and have cleaned the surface of residue, polish the visor with the Vinyl Protectant.

8. Put the vanity mirror back in the visor, and slide the sunvisor back onto its pivot rod.
