Default Sun Visor Air Bag Warning Decals

Has anyone successfully removed the sun visor air bag warning decals on their LC?

I've read about 2 options:
- using a blow dryer to heat it up
- using isopropyl alcohol to saturate it

I just tried to remove one with a blow dyer, without success, maybe it needed more time. This method worked well on my previous car.

I'm hesitant to try using isopropyl alcohol.

I want to Bump this...good question. Also, I've had 3 LCs, but my first 2 were coupes. The vert has a very cheap feeling, plastic visor. Any thoughts on a leather cover, or custom visor? I could buy new ones, but I'm sure they're pricey to just experiment with. Also doesn't help that mine are white...so not an easy cover/match job. Thoughts??

Yep. I so dislike these labels. So distracting, esp with a bit of OCD.
Anyway, I knew if I tried to remove it, I’d likely hack it up. What I did is buy some self stick black felt lining (really inexpensive, any kind like jewelry box lining). My interior is dark so black worked perfectly; close match and mate finish so no reflection. Carefully cutting the right size pieces and rounding the corners, I simply stuck them OVER the label and “Voila”, no longer distracting. Also, if necessary it can be easily removed.
I ended up doing this on all 3 of our cars.

It’s been a few decades since I even walked inside of one, and nowadays you can probably find some guy in Oklahoma who can do it remotely via mail and ship it back within days, but I’d imagine that any auto upholstery shop could cover them up for a few hundred bucks for the pair.

I bought some 8x10 laminate sheets, spray painted them flat black, cut them to size, and stuck them on another car. I like the felt material mentioned above. Hobby Lobby?

Anything will work. I think I got mine on Amzn. Any self stick lining for jewelry boxes or draws. It has a very short nap and is matte appearance. Usually you have to buy a roll, but cheap enough to have for other projects.
