I messed up removing air bag sticker
#1
Anyone got an idea how I can remove the rest of the air bag sticker off my visor.
I started to pull on it and it was coming off pretty evenly then it just separated on me leaving the backing. I wisely used the hair dryer on the other one after that.
Any help would be muchly appreciated. thanks.

Have you tried adhesive remover? I would check the ingredients though, and make sure you arent putting something on there that will ruin your visor.
How about trying the dryer to soften the adhesive?

try "goo gone" adhesive remover. test a small area first to make sure it doesn't stain the visor. IF it doesn't, that stuff works great at removing adhesive.

If it is solvent-based it might do something funny to the fabric.

Why did you want to remove the stickers to begin with?

If its just adhesive, you might try an iron and a brown paper bag. Put the paper bag between the iron and the visor. The adhesive should melt into the bag.

Try getting a damp towel and lay the towel over the sticky stuff and then hold an iron on med/high heat over the towel it shud make the stuff come off a lot easier! . . . hope this helps

Moist towel and iron actually sounds like a good idea.
If all else fails, ask someone at a detail shop. I've got a friend that can get anything out of anything... unfortunately, he won't divulge his trade secrets.

I tried the hair-dryer approach, and it did not work out well at all. I could not separate the sticker from the visor, and the visor material was stretching to much for my liking. I am now hunting for a dark colored sticker that I can put over it - unless I get brave and try that iron trick. Just not sure how I use the iron at a wierd angle without getting water all over the place.
