My first post -- Sticker removal advice?

Looking for advice:

We just replaced my other half's '94 F-150 with an '03 Expedition. She commented on removing the sun visor airbag and rollover warning stickers. I removed the passenger sticker with no problems, but the first sticker on the driver's side left its adhesive on the visor.

Before I damage the fabric-covered visor, I'm seeking suggestions for removing the adhesive.

Thanks for any help!

Have you tried a hairdryer? Just get it really hot and hold it on there. It should peel off

Thanks for the suggestion -- I'll do that with the other sticker on the driver's visor.

Any further suggestions for removing the adhesive left behind from the first sticker?

Thanks again!

Thanks! one follow-up -- any potential for staining the fabric? Obviously, I'll try it on a hidden spot first, but wanted to check your experience.

And thanks for the welcome!

Try it in a hidden spot first. I have used it on vinyl with fair results but use it sparingly.You can also check your local auto parts house i think 3M makes a product for adheasive removal but i'm not sure it works on fabric.
