Airbag warning on Sun Visors

Annoying Decals on Sun Visors.

Any idea where I can purchase replacements? I don't have kids, so I don't need the warning about where to put them, because the airbags could injure them.

The decal won't come off, so the only thing I can think of is to replace them or paint them, as they are hooked to the light with the mirror on the reverse.

Maybe Euro visors or even Canadian models may not have them as they do not fall under the same rules as we do in the US.

LOL, if anything, we get more warnings and other health and safety type stuff.

Just picked the car up this week and was thinking about that as well.

How to remove the warning stickers on visors!

I did remove them, the day after I got the car delivered.

1. Go to your favorite pharmacy store and purchase a bottle of 91% rubbing alcohol.
2. Remove both visors from vehicle with a torx screwdriver
3. Place them on a flat surface with the stickers looking to the top.
4. Lay a napkin over each of the stickers and soak with the 91% alcohol for 15 minutes.
5. After 7 minutes re-soak (alcohol evaporates)
6. Peel stickers after 15 min.
7. Remove any excess glue by rubbing hard with a 91 % alcohol soak bounty or favorite brand.
8. Re install visors and you are done.

^- Lacquer thinner works also. For step 4: put some thinner on a paper towel and rub on a side of the airbag sticker until it comes up, then peel off while using the thinner to loosen any place that sticks.

Goof off works completely fine. You dont need to take the visors off. put a little goof on a rag or towel, rub for a while and it will start to bubble and peel away. After it is completely removed, clean the visor and treat with a vinyl conditioner, such as Lexol's vinylex. I've done this in every car I've owned.

What color is your interior? I have the part#s for the Euro version with no stickers with gray interior.
