Sun Visor Sticker...

[BlakSilvr]

So yesterday while sitting in traffic I was bored...and realized what an eyesore those bright yellow stickers are on the sun visors so, since the ones in my Monte Carlo peeled right off without problem, I decided to do the same.

 

Bad idea.

 

Now I have the eyesore of the left over adhesive residue. No fingernail scratching seems to make a difference. I'm hesitant to use any sort of chemical for fear of making it worse. Any suggestions?

Don't use HEAT. I thought they would come off with heat so I tried the wifes iron. Melted the visors fabric. Now I owe the wife a new iron. I ended up just getting those strap on storage things with all the pockets etc. It covers the melted stickers and was a very functional solution. I will probably get another set should I get another truck.

When I used to detail houses I would use water based Goof Off on any carpet stains. I worked pretty well without hurting the carpet. I would use a wet rag to try to remove as much of it as possible after I got the stain out with the goof off. Never tried it in my truck though....

I have used GooBeGone in the past but can't find it anymore. It was awesome in removing residue from stickers. I have heard of people using rubbing alcohol but I don't know what it would do to fabric. One of my firend swears by WD-40 but I don't know about using that.

 

Good luck on getting those off and let us know what you used when you do. I am glad (not for you though ) that I read this before I pulled mine off. They are beginning to ripple a little but I think I will just leave them on there.

I agree Goof off works! I would suggest testing it first on a spot no one could see.

I wish I would have seen this post a couple of weeks ago. I took the stickers off and was left with the nasty looking glue. I scrubbed with soap,water, and some kind of stain remover because of dirty hands getting on the visor. The glue isnt all off but the best luck I had was using an iron with a shirt over it to suck out the glue. I got most of it off but I prob spent a few hours cleaning them.

I misread the original post. My bad.

Yup, they rock! They are VERY thin vinyl, so I don't know how good they'll look over residue, but probably no worse than what doesn't come off!

Thanks for all of the reply's. I am going to order a set of those as peeling it off looks like it will leave undesirable results.

Post up some pics when you get them on....I'm sure you will love them...
