Visor sticker removal tips needed

Picked up a 2017 TT cab. I hate the look of the yellow stickers on the sun visors. My last car, I used rubbing alcohol on a paper towel and let it set for 15 minutes, then picked it off.

Any better suggestions.

Slowly heat with hair dryer or heat gun until adhesive releases...remove residue with goof off or goo gone

Maybe just all exclusive option and ship them the visors to refinish in alcantara or leather

I used straight 100% isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol can be as little as 70% isopropyl alcohol), put it on a paper towel sized to the decal and covered it with Saran Wrap (or equivalent clear food wrap). This kept the alcohol from evaporating and kept the decal much wetter. After half an hour, it pretty much wiped away. My guess is rubbing alcohol would work as well under the clear plastic wrap. The key is keeping the decal soaked.
Best Regards,
Larry Fisher

I was able to get 91% isopropyl alcohol at Riteaid and this method was so easy. In a cab, put the top down and you can rotate the visors such that they do not need to be removed from the car. Only took 10 minutes total!!!

Thanks for the great tip!!!

Glad it worked for you. I forgot the little detail of taping the four edges of the Saran Wrap to the visor. Much easier than removing the visor or buying a cab. Scotch tape will work and won't leave a residue. There isn't any weight to speak of.
Best,
