Please no PMs on the visors. I am trying to sell the car with them first if I get my asking price for the car. I will put a sales ad when its ready.

Merged threads.

I just removed my JDM visors - I used a hair dryer and dental floss. To remove the rear visors I heat up the end closer to the rear of the car and used the floss to cut through the adhesive. Be careful and gentle when pulling up since the metal bends easily. Be especially careful with the metal clips - there are two per each visor.

To remove the front visors I started again with the end closer to the rear of the car and used dental floss to start the process. My biggest piece of advice is to take your time and let the hair dryer/heat gun soften the adhesive.
