Talking That's how I discovered that alcohol takes them off!

Hi sd_boxster,

You did exactly what I was doing and had the same result.. the paint I used on my '04 986 550 Spyder Edition visors years ago made the decal wrinkle up. I took some alcohol in desperation to remove the goo, knowing that it wouldn't hurt the vinyl. Then after I had the mess cleaned up....... I just used it to remove what was left. On the passenger side visor I started and ended with pure 91% rubbing alcohol. Took a bit of rubbing but they are GONE!

Cheers,

J Tinsby
