The only sticker I removed was the big square one on the driver's side window.? I only took it off because I was getting my windows tinted.? All the other one's I left since they don't really bother me.

The first one undoubtedly is a lawyer sticker. All I can think of on the second one is that it is a lawyer sticker that covers the possibility the car might end up being burned in a junk yard. ~(;^)

[/quote]Yep, the first one could be an idiot sticker, but idiot stickers usually are designed by lawyers to protect companies from idiots and their families.

Best solvent for this problem is called "Strip-Ease", available at drugstores. It's made for removing surgical adhesive. There's a slight odor, which dissipates quickly, and it leaves no residue. I used it for the upper left windshield sticker and for my "Vote for Kerry" bumpersticker after Bush 
won.
won.

The best solution to use to remove the stickers from the fabric on the visors, or anywhere else is Acetone. Pure acetone will not damage the fabric, and will dissolve any sticker residue. Anything else has additives that are not necessary.

Did you remove your visor stickers? I might consider doing so if I knew of someone who had done so with zero problems and if I knew his/her exact procedure.

[/quote]Me, too.
Has anybody removed the sun visor stickers/decals with good results (i.e. no residual stains, etc.)?

I've just removed the sticker beside my shifter which comes off nicely and the sticker on the steering column which was a pain in the a**. But the eraser does the trick and with the help of some clear duct tape, is looks perfect now.
