Maybe a silly question, sticker removal

Does anyone have a good method for removing the Airbag stickers from the underside of the windshield visors ?
I thought that picking at an edge would allow it to be pulled off, didn't work, the sticker just falls apart only where you are pulling. I thought about some heat, but thought I'd better ask the experts here first.

I got mine off immediately 11 years ago. I used isopropyl alcohol and a soft rag if memory serves, it took some doing. There will be the spot were they were that will still show up for a while. It is also quite possible that they are using something else after the years have passed precluding the method I employed. Good luck getting them off, and yes, they are annoying.

+1 on the use of isopropyl alcohol, a technique is to use cotton ***** and soak them and let them sit on the decal and soak.

Motor On!

Black piece of vinyl cut to cover them works well if you have black visors.

Thanks for the info all.

I like that new... "Warning" sticker..!
I've got one small..."Do Not Open Windows Over 150mph". It's too small to cover the airbag sticker/decal..!

After you get that cleaned up (BTW, I couldn't get the last word on the second to last admonition on the replacement sticker shown by vetsvette) you might like to consider something like this. A flying instructor suggested this to me once and I felt that it had merit for other applications as well.
