F55/F56 Goodbye annoying warning labels!

Goodbye annoying warning labels!
I did the whole soak with isopropyl alcohol method, worked like a charm! Taking off the visors in the F56 was super easy, no screws to worry about or anything.
(Pardon my garage, it's full to the brim with boxes of our centerpieces from our wedding. Anyone want 25 huge brandy glasses? )

You can see the outline in this pic.
It scrubbed off no problem.

You gave up too soon. I had the same issue with my Miata but kept at it and kept rubbing till I finally got it all.

Maybe you let it soak too long? I let it sit for 10 minutes, and it practically fell off. Also, what kind of solvent did you use? I tried Goo Gone first and didn't have much success. 91% isopropyl alcohol worked like a charm.

Pretty much... If I do get hit by something, now I'm afraid that I won't know to "See owner's manual for more information about air bags"!

Wait... there are warning labels on my visors? Honestly, I did not notice they were there. I even have the anthracite headliner package, as well. Guess I've been too desensitized when it comes to needless warnings. Anyway, now that I know these labels actually exist, I'm gonna have to try this trick with the alcohol. Damn you, TheRocketPig! Now I there's one more mod I have to do...

Funny you said that. I didn't even know I had them (obviously I did), but I didn't notice them until this thread made me take a glance up at the visors on my way into work.

It's funny you say this. The first car I had with warning labels was a Miata and I couldn't wait to get them off. Since then I've not given any of them a second thought. We do adjust?

Thanks for the tip on removing the visor labels.
Two other things bugged me on my new '14 hardtop; the EMERGENCY Flasher triangle button glowing away and the Mini 800 emergency phone number sticker (with unreadable small print) plastered on the inside of the windshield on the driver side (only readable from the outside).
Piece of black tape covered the glowing triangle nicely.
Then I peeled off the sticker and cut off the 800 number and pasted it to a remote corner of the back window. It left major goo on the window which came off eventually with isopropyl alcohol and and a clean rag.

There's also a roadside assistance 800# sticker located on the bottom boot trim, visible when you open the boot hatch, FYI -- in case you hadn't seen it yet. Maybe no need for the other sticker?

The 800 number in the boot says to call for recommended synthetic oil and is different from my Roadside Assistance 800 number.
