its the high quality of materials that makes it so easy hahaha good luck.. i'd be concerned that applying heat would melt them like an ice cream cone on a hot day!

There's an idea. Tape off and plastidip!

Thanks for the tip. Should be done in 15 minutes.

I was able to remove the labels without taking the visors off. One came of clean and the other in pieces. Park the car in the sun to get them warm or use a hair dryer. Start the edge with you finger nail.

The visors don't NEED to be taken off but it's a handful of screws at the base and 2 min each to pop them off and make it more comfortable to work on.

Glad to hear it! The vert visors are different design and even a different fabric than the coupe. Good to hear they came off nicely. I didn't want to be the first to try. What method did you use to get them off?

They block my vision. It's hard too see when these little flaps are down.

As far as taking the label off wait for a hot day and they might just start to peel off if you pick at them enough. You will eventually end up taking them off by PATIENTLY heating them up with a hair dryer. Switch from side to side because the plastic on the headliner will want to stretch. Don't let it get too hot.

Once they come off there might be the faintest shadow of where they were but a little Adams interior cleaner and then some conditioner and it looks fine.

Good Luck!

This! I did exactly this and both stickers are off with NO residue or plastic damage. You can also soak the stickers with rubbing alcohol...seems to break the sticker material/glue down.

In 30 years there will be a thread on Camaro 5 from some guy trying to restore his Camaro and wondering where he can get reproduction air bag stickers to finish his frame off restoration.
