I think I'd begin with GooGone or similar product before LPS.
LPS,I believe,is NOT a "contact cleaner".

Maybe some mild heat from a hairdryer would help.

Are they stickers or molded into the vinyl?

Are replacement visors available? Do they have stickers on them? How
much do they cost?

Re: How do I get these #%$&! stickers off my new Civic window visors??
 

I am not buying new visors at dealer prices! This is ridiculous! I'm
going to complain to Honda about this. I mean, the stickers are really
big and bright and obnoxious! I understand they want people not to put
kids in the front seat, but really, people are going to do what they
want regardless of the sticker. The stickers should be removable!

As for trying solvent, the visors are not vinyl or plastic, they are
cloth-covered. The cloth is synthetic, yes, but I fear that any
solvent will discolor them. I was hoping someone had done this and
could tell me how to do it without damaging the upholstery.

If I don't hear from anyone who's done it, I'm writing the VP in
charge of Customer Relations for Honda and asking him for new visors
without the damned stickers!

Thanks for your replies.
