Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suggestion
Any before and after pics, if not I can use my imagination.....
Leading evidence: 'Use imagination' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Use imagination' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Those F*!&# ugly airbag warning stickers on my visors were driving me nuts
but with many thanks to Rennlist I followed the very simple procedure and 30 min later, voila! They are completely gone and makes a big difference in a cab. Probably cost me $0.10 in rubbing alcohol.
No, not at all. Amazingly, the fugly stickers just peeled away after a 15-min soak w/ alcohol rag. A little elbow grease to remove the gummy residue followed by a thin coating of Armor All and you cannot tell a sticker used to be there. I did both sides; the vinyl and the plastic mirror backside.
I saw a yellow 996 cab on the highway a couple of days ago, and my eyes were drawn to his yellow/white stickers glaring back at me. Why didn't I do this sooner?
Now that I have the technique down, it's time to do my wifey's Audi S8 visors.
2 keys to this successful mod: soak a small scrap of terry cloth in the alcohol, and cover it w/ a plastic bag for 15 min to avoid evaporation. Works like a charm!
Here are some pics of the results. If you still have your stickers, you already know what they look like. I captured the lighting in the vinyl photo to capture the most discoloration I could see. In normal daylight, you can't see this. I haven't tried another round of scum removal, but that may be next.
I'd rather have no yellow and white sticker on there and deal with a little fading! I have to do this mod.
As for another cheap but effective mod - smoked side markers!
Phil - I removed my stickers from my Graphite Gray visors about a year ago. Under certain lighting conditions, I can see a "gost" image of where the sticker was, but I'll bet others will never nitice it. I would think that since your interior is black, any residue left after removing your stickers it would be virtually invisible.
Phil - one other thing. You won't have to worry about and fading on your sun visors, since you car never sees the light of day anyway! Sorry, I couldn't resist.
Makes a big difference in what? Why is a cab more affected by this "problem"?
I'm going to vote for this and the infamous "amberectomy" as "most useless/pointless mod ever".
