Hey , what's the best way to remove stickers from sun visors ??

 

Heat gun if you’re careful

 

I picked at the corner of one of mine, just enough to get a finger under it. I noticed the glue from the sticker was left behind on the visor (it would leave a large white square of glue behind), so stopped. The one on my last Ram peeled off no problem.

SARDiverDan, did you do this to yours with the heat gun? What were your results?

I might try a heat gun...but I will probably just take them to an upholstery shop (or my friend that does it) and have them recovered.

 

Does anyone else think that the stock visors are a bit on the flimsy side. They seem rather cheap compared to the rest of the interior (Lariat that is.)

 

Come ON!!! At only $80k - $90k per truck, Ford HAS to SAVE some money somewhere for PROFIT! 😂

 

I've heard of doing this, but would be a bit nervous about ruining the KR color fabric, as it shows scuffs like nobody's business.

Have you done this? If so, have any pictures?

 

I do not have pictures as I am still in the process of doing all of mine. You need to run the gun around 200 and go slow enough to melt the glue under the sticker. Don't pull straight down as you may stretch the fabric. I worked from the back of the sticker and pulled if flush along the surface of the visor slowly as to not stress the fabric. My Corvette has suede visors so it was easy, this fabric is a PITA. I know on the vette forum, they have guys selling cover stickers (basically a sticker the same color as your vison that you place over the warning sticker) so that may be an option for some of you that may not want to go down this road.

I would say about 80% of the glue residue was removed when the sticker came off and now I need to go back and see what I can do to take off this glue residue from what is left over. If I was going to do it all over again, I would remove the visor and work on it at a work bench to give me more control of the process. So far I would say I am OK with it but not thrilled as I need to do some more work on it to clean it up. I guess if all else fails, I will go down the street and have them covered in leather and call it good.

 

Thanks for the info. I think I'll just get mine redone one day...or try that fabric paint...

 

Slight OT, isnt it ridiculous that this topic is on so many forums for all kinds of cars & trucks?
Why does the &^%$##$%^ guberment feel the need to deface our cars with these stupid decals that hey obvioulsy make difficult to remove cleanly.

Fippin' Lawyers... Ambulance Chasers - that's why! Have to have a WARNING for everything or they're going to get a "Class Action Law Suit" started by some damned ding dong lawyer trying to make a quick pay day, so it's easier to OVER STICKER than take the chance! You are exactly correct though Jimmy!!!

 

Yeah Northern Tool had lawyers bite
