If you guys are as bothered as I am about the ugly sun visor decals here is how to easily remove them. (1st) Take your time. (2nd) Slowly heat the sun visor decal with a Blow Dryer not the visor just the decal. (3) Using a pair of tweezers carefully peel the decal away from the visor keep the heat on the decal surface and the decal just lifts off. (4) Use a little Goo Gone to remove any left over adhesive.

PS: I hated looking at them each time I got into the car. Then I remembered that you use a hair dryer to remove the emblems off your car. I bet you could remove the decals the same way and now the car looks like it should. Here you go! As a side note Total Cost for this mod Approximately $.05 for electricity and 15 minutes of your time.
That's pretty neat, i'll have to remove mine soon.

Removing these decals is a very tedious job. I do it on all of my vehicles. Who wants their car to look like a damn taxi cab? For some reason my warning labels are in French, and I don’t even allow French people to ride in my cars! I got lazy this time and took the easy way out when I received my new 2020 black Mustang GT. I bought the black vinyl coverup stickers on eBay and covered the decals. Six months later, I noticed the edges of the vinyl stickers had curled away from the visor fabric. I got out my heat gun to remove the decals properly, and when I tried to pulol the vinyl stickers off, the decals came off with them. It took a little heat to help, but it was the easiest decal removal ever. I still have some adhesive residue to remove. Goo-Gone doesn’t seem to touch it. I’ll try alcohol next.

Used mineral sprites myself, on rag. Heat the visor some, the MS will dissolve the glue. Work small areas at a time, repeat as needed.


Did not have a heat gun used an old hair dryer. Now having a heat gun. Think that would speed things up.

I would start with the coolest setting, bump up the heat as need.

Don't want the stretch fabric.

Yes it does take some time well worth the effort

Yeah, they'll do that. Just keep slapping new stickers on.
