after the amount of time spent in traffic --- I finally was able to get the obnoxious "air-bag warning" sticker off of the visor on the driver side.
I have seen other threads where some people who were able to clean this up; but I do not know what adhesive remover would clean this mess from the visor. Seeing that it is the same material as the head liner, I am not sure what would clean this up without making a mess.
No matter what you try, at the right angle and lighting, you will always see the outline/impression of where the sticker originally was located. The only proper way would be to buy visors from European WK2's since they don't require the same stickers on their visors. But that would cost hundreds of dollars.
Has anyone located a good source, part #'s, etc. for the European visors? I would buy them in a heartbeat for my SRT after the debacle I went through on my first one getting the stickers off the visors (alcantara/suede). So far I haven't had any luck finding a source. Would really like to buy the headlights without the orange corner markers as well if possible.
VM & P Naphtha .
Use it straight from the container using a lint free cloth. Water will stain the sun visor.
You can also use naphtha to remove any other stains from the headliner .
Agreed. Seriously: must us americans be reminded that an airbag may deploy in the event of a crash, and that it is unsafe to drive a vehicle while being drunk? At that, this notice must be colored in yellow and be placed in clear view on a sun visor, as if this would deter someone from knowing that there is an airbag in the dash and/or getting behind the wheel after a liter of vodka? Have we all lost it?! This seems to me like an addition because someone was litigious, and the only way that this could be solved is by putting a giant obnoxious sticker on a cloth area.
...but I digress...
I attempted to take the remaining adhesive off using mineral spirits. It was able to get SOME of the remaining adhesive off, but not ALL.
I will try to find some VM & P Naphtha and report results.
Thank you for the feedback. I need to find a good interior/trim guy in my area, because if all fails, I may ask him to re-cover with leather as well as fix my center arm rest that looks like fried hell.

Can't help but think that it has something to do with law suits. Have you purchased a ladder lately? Sticker city.
I recall a story from a few years ago about two guys using a lawn mower to trim a hedge. One guy dropped it and cut his leg. He sued and won. No where in the manual did it say that you couldn't use it for that purpose.
Results from the Naptha: nada. In fact, mineral spirits seemed to chip away at it better; but I do not believe that I will ever be able to get ALL of the adhesive off.
Looks like I may be looking into getting them wrapped in leather, possibly.
Gents, for those willing to spend the money, I am working on sourcing European visors that come without the stickers...Will update thread when I have them in hand.
