The problem...these dumbo stickers:

The solution...OOPS, a tooth brush and a hair drier. The visor was taken off by removing 2 screws with a T25 Torx driver:

I just started soaking the edge of the sticker with the OOPS. Then I started peeling it back

Some areas still had some adhesive reaming:

I applied more OOPS and GENTLY brushed it away:

The cloth was wet and wrinkled so I hit with the hair dryer to dry and smooth it out:

Here's the finished product. Under the bright lights you can still make out where the sticker was. Inside the car I don't see it:

I found out how to do this by searching the forum and putting everyone's techniques together. I thought I try to give back a little to the forum by putting it all together with pictures. So thanks to everyone who posted on this topic. My stickers are gone

Great post. Good pics. I removed mine with one of those steam "iron your clothes on the hanger" machines. It has about a six foot hose that reached into the car nicely. I didn't take the visor down. I used OOPS to finish the job getting up the last little bit of glue.

Oh great! Now 30 years from now some guy who tries to restore your car is gonna have to try to find the original stickers!
Maybe I should invest some money in factory parts that everyone is replacing?!

Thanks for the writeup!

Quick question, is Oops oily? I have Goo Gone but am concerned that it is too oily and may stain my visor. If it is basically the same stuff as Oops I will not bother buying Oops and just use the Goo Gone. Does anyone know?

Yes, thanks for reserecting it. I was trying to dream up a sleave of some kind to wrap around the visor to cover the label but this is better... and cheaper.

I hate those stickers I like the clean look. I am definately looking for some of that OOPS! stuff. I wonder if Goo Gone would work?
Project for my days off!
