I used WD40 to remove the residue left after removing all the decals on the JL also.
Been using it since the the 70's to remove adhesive residue.

I had very, very little residue but a quick wipe with rag and WD40 cleaned it right off. Completely gone.
I tried wd40, goo gone and nail polish remover and you can still see where the stickers were on the visors. :angry:

A good friend of mine who has a auto detailing business on the side said to use Murphy's oil soap, warm water, and a magic eraser sponge. He stated that he has had good success with this in the past.

What did you use to get the adhesive residue off with?

I tried magic eraser, all the residue is off but you can still tell where the stickers used to be. I've decided that is still better than having the stickers

I am glad to hear the magic eraser got rid of the residue. I am ok seeing a slight outline of where the stickers were, as long as I don't have to stare at the god awful stickers :like:

Actually the residue was gone after using goo gone. I was refering to trying to remove the outline. I may not have made that clear before.

So, I couldn't stand looking at the white/yellow factory warning stickers on my sun visors driving down the road. Therefore, I decided to remove them and was actually surprised how easy it was. For those interested, just take a blow dryer, heat the sticker up (don't go too hot) and start pealing from the corner and once started, the whole sticker pealed off in one piece. It looks so much better, and while there is still a slight hint that the sticker was there, it's much cleaner looking. I can only assume the sticker came off that easily since my rig is new and the sticker hadn't been on the visor through a hot summer, or lengthy period of time.

It doesn’t even bother me a tiny bit. Typically have better things to do while driving then just staring at my visors, you know like paying attention to my rearview mirrors, perhaps changing the channel or a song on my Uconnect, or who knows, maybe even keeping my eyes on the road ahead of me! Hahaha! To each their own I always say! :)

Glad it doesn't bother you, and maybe you're shorter than I am or had your seat positioned differently. But, at 6'0, I sit pretty tall in the Jeep and as I was looking straight ahead as I should have been, the glaringly obvious warning label was unavoidably noticeable in my line of sight. Granted, to each their own, but I like the solid blacked out visor now that my labels have been removed, and they aren't screaming at me like they once were. Plus, it looks much cleaner with the solid black but that's what I like IMHO. Before the label removal, I felt that my visors were like:

The early JK's looked like this with stickers removed which is better than with the stickers on it. The later JK's the warning was embossed and could not be removed. I put a black stick on it but if the sticker is easy to remove then that is better.

You are right that's not your average sticker they got some kind of special adhesive I just hate their Lisa Square where you can see something was there I guess that's better than no decal are a decal on there but I hate the way you can see where something was there don't know if there's something you can chemical you put on there to clean it without damaging or not got to be
So WD40 is the trick? I was going to buy some goo gone, but sounds like you found the answer :like:
Goo gone will work but too harsh and may adversely affect the visor. Have not tried WD 40. I always use rubbing alcohol and it works like a charm with no damage or residue left behind. I usually have to make several passes as the glue is slow to dissolve.

Just removed the warning label stickers from both visors. Used my hair dryer on high. Took about 15 minutes to do both visors. No residue left behind. Get them hot enough and they peel right off. :clap:
