So what did you end up using to get them off? I haven't found the 3M locally.

I was ready to do this but now concerned about the legal issues, not that I'm planning on selling the car ever.
I bought the 3m adhesive remover and it worked OK but I actually had much better luck with alcohol. I took the visors off the car. Then wet a rag with alcohol and let it sit on the label for about 2 minutes and carfully peeled the sticker off.

There's still a residue from the sticker adhesive when you do it this way. The best thing that I found to remove the residue is (gasp) laquer thinner. It made me pretty nervous at first but it turned out great. I tried the 3m stuff and it just didn't seem to get all of it off, plus the 3m stuff needed alot more rubbing, which can stretch the vinyl. I just gently rubbed the sticker area with a thinner-soaked rag until the shiney residue was totally gone.

After removing the adhesive, I ran across the visor with a coat of Mother's Back to Black and everything looks great.

I don't think the legality arguement makes any sense.
