The interior is so nice in the Accord but I couldn't get over the bright yellow and white warning stickers on the sun visors. I decided to get rid of them and figured I'd share with others what I did and how it came out.
The stickers are vinyl and peeled off with a bit of heat and very minimal effort. Both came off in one piece with no tearing. There was no residue or glue leftover on the visor. The color of the visor is a bit lighter where the sticker was. I tried cleaning this area with P&S Express Interior Cleaner with no effect. The slight discoloration doesn't bother me whereas the bright stickers were a huge eyesore. I took some night photos that I will post at the end of this topic and will take some day photos tomorrow.
Step 1 (Optional) - Remove the visors from the vehicle. There's a little button you push in with a small flathead screwdriver and then you rotate the visor like you were moving it towards the door window to block the sun. If you pushed the button in correctly, the visor will just fall down when you're at about 45 degrees. You can then remove the clip for the wire that powers the vanity lights and take the visors inside. These two videos helped me figure out how to remove the visors. Video 1. Video 2. You could probably get an extension cable and just do step 2 in the car but the visors are so easy to remove I chose to do step 2 at my kitchen table.
Step 2 - Use a hair dryer to heat the sticker up and pull it off. I have a Revlon RVDR5036 I bought for $20 from Walmart. You don't need a lot of heat for this. Just hit the corner of the sticker with heat for about 30 seconds and you should be able to use your fingernail to peel the corner up a bit. Then you can grab onto that corner and as long as you have the hair dryer hitting the sticker it will easily peel away from the visor. The hot air from the dryer is very hot so you may want to use needle nose pliers to grab onto the sticker instead of your fingers. I chose to just burn my fingers.
Step 3 - Reinstall the visors. You just reattach the wire clips and stick the visor in the hole and rotate it back towards the windshield. You'll hear it snap into place and you're all done.
Bonus Tip - If the bright amber light for the passenger airbag annoys you like it does me you can pick up these LightDims stickers off Amazon for $3.50 that will reduce the brightness by a good bit. I used the pre-cut rectangular sticker (top left corner in the image on the Amazon link) and it fit perfectly. Definitely makes driving at night nicer as I find that light a bit distracting.
