Default Can these decals be removed?

Has anyone successfully removed the airbag warning stickers on the sun visors?

I know they're put there for legal reasons, and that's fine, but they are an annoyance and I'd like to remove them if possible. The seem to be permanently attached. Any tips on getting them off?

Thanks

first- i can not suggest that you do this (for obvious reasons)...

i covered my visors with ricks leather covers so the visors look like they are leather now-

you can remove any adhesive with several products. i just used autoglyms intestive tar remover this week to get some adhesive off of plastic- worked just fine...
or a citrus based cleaner, like goo gone
other possibilities:
wd40 (works great on metal, but i have not used it on soft surfaces)
peanut butter (caution due to its slight grit)
vegetable oil
toothpaste (same caution as with p.b.)

whatever you use, be sure to use a very small test area first-
you can do your best to peel off the sticker then use whichever of the above you want to try to get the adhesive...

my strongest suggestion is the cover! (that way you still have a stock visor if that ever becomes important- and you get the good looks)

becareful with the chemical cleaners, you can "melt" the plastic.

I think I saw a thread on the Miata.Net forum on this exact topic, and several people there got it off successfully.
