My 2008 535 has yellow warnings embedded (not stickers) on each sun visor. Is there a quality way to mask or cover up? I did a search using various iterations of "warnings" but to no avail. Thanks in advance.

How to remove visor warning sticker ^^^^

I used Acetone and Goo B Gone, and a soft terry cloth towel. Be gentle and take your time, soak the cloth not the visor!
I was able to peel away, but mostly in pieces. There was a little remaining of the "goo" from the sticker, I left it like that, let it dry and put the visor back in place. (Oh yeah, remove your visor from the vehicle).
But seriously it took me about 5 min total to do both. Today I cannot see any sticker outline.
But read the posts above to get other examples etc....
Regards,
TR.


PS. I have a 2008 528i which the stickers look like silk screened on, so at first I wondered if they were stickers. But sure enough they were. So even though they look embedded they were not! But please read/remove with caution, what worked for me may not work for you.

Thanks, TR. I'll take a closer look. I just gave up when I thought they were embedded. I'll get some acetone and try it. Thanks.
