On my 525 the sun visors were made of a vinyl material and I was able to remove the warning stickers. But now on my 545 the visors are a nice tightly woven cloth material that seems to be the same as the headliner. Is this a difference from a 525 to a 545?or is this a production date thing (my 545 was produced 6-months after my 525).

[/quote]I used Acetone on my 525 with the "vinyl" visors but these are a tightly woven cloth...I don't think acetone would be a good idea?? Are your visors the same material as your head-liner or something different?

[/quote]Visors appear to be the same material as the headliner. Acetone worked great - try it on an 'inconspicuous' part first if you're worried.

[/quote]How about we just show some tolerance for different expressions and not be so friggin sensitive about everything. People should be allowed to be colorful in their language without worrying about the P.C police. Good Grief.
