Default Can the sunvisor warning stickers be removed easily?

I don't know if there's been a previous post about this, but has anyone peeled off these warning stickers? I want to do it but I'm afraid it'll leave sticker residue or worse, damage the visor surface. I know it's not that big a deal but if it's easy to remove, I'd prefer them gone. Any suggestions, or links to similar threads would be appreciated. Thanks

These labels are heat pressed on there.... so they are pretty well stuck on to the visor. I have seen some advice that says you may be able to peel the label off using a heat gun, but this is risky because the heat may also cause the liner to separate from the visor.

Basically, I would not try it

It's probably similar between cars, but my friend took his off of his Suburu and now he has a giant square where the sticker used to be. Not sure if it's sticky or not but he did say he regretted taking it off.

Not on the IS but previous cars I've had, rubbing alcohol did the trick. Though I must say, these look a little more stout than those I've removed in the past.

I did that on my subaru as well, mainly because the edge was peeling off. and it did leave a glue residue on the visor.

Yeah, those don't bother me at all either. I also wonder if they're like mattress tags, where you can go to prison for removing them.

Consider sticking a sticker/vinyl on top of it. Much easier than trying to peel it and risking sticky residue marks.

Yeah, they're not that big a deal.. just figured if I could, and it wasn't a lot of trouble, and that it'd look cleaner w/out them. But yeah, i guess I'll just leave em
