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? )

 

Looks good. Did they come off completely or leave a slight outline around where the sticker was?

 

When I first pulled them off there was an outline. I just took a paper towel to it with some alcohol. Came right up. Looking at it now, you'd never have known there was anything there.



You can see the outline in this pic.



It scrubbed off no problem.

 

It looks good. I think I may need to do that

 

Jeez, I wish that would have worked in my Countryman. I soaked it for hours and was still chipping away tiny 1/16" flakes. I gave up and now it looks like crap with about 1/3 of it gone.

 

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.

 

Will this void the warranty on the sunshades?

Seriously though - great job!

 

Boy, you like to live life on the edge. I bet you put your fingers over the "drink may be hot" warning on coffee cups too, don't you?

I'm just worried that you're going to be hit by an object that may be closer than it appears.

 

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"!

 

How exactly did you do this?

 

Basically follow this:

This is pretty much right. The only thing different is that the F56 has no screws. The visor is held up by a metal clip that pops right out.

 

I picked up some headliner-material stickers to go over them, forget where I got them though. They were the right width but too long, I trimmed them down and rounded the cut corners. Looks OK.

 

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...

 

Same here. I hadn't noticed them but now I can't get them and this mod out of my head.

My wife thinks I'm nuts.

 

Must be nice that so many people have so few problems that a few warning labels are such an annoyance. lol

 

That is awesome! I was wondering if there was a way to remove those annoying warnings, now I know! Thanks for the info.

 

Is removing those labels the equivalent of pulling tags off of pillows or could it be a resale hassle down the road because of some stupid law saying the stupid warning labels need to be displayed prominently?

 

I honestly don't notice them after a zillion years of these stickers being on vehicles. I am not about to start obsessing about them now. Meh.

 

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.
