Default Visor Airbag Sticker Removal

All,

Wondering if anyone has removed those unsightly airbag warning stickers from the sun visors and if so, how? On plastic visors Isopropyl Alcohol does the trick, as it dissolves the sticker without damage to the visor. However with the more textile and textured nature of the visor I don't know if it will be as effective or easy to clean up. Thank you in advance.

Quick update on this if anyone is contemplating the same project. I had good outcome using 91% isopropyl alcohol and some cotton pads. Stickers generally came off in larger pieces and I probably only spent about 25 mins on the project. Here are some before and after pics:







Sorry this pic didn't turn out so well but evidence of sticker is minimal.

Thanks for the tips on this. I just removed the visible visor stickers and the stickers on the inside of the door. Worked great!

Maybe our efforts should be spent eliminating the a$$hole attorney and the a$$hole in government that thought that this sticker was a good idea?
