Euro Sunvisor DIY Hack

NORAGRETS · 07-13-2023, 11:05 AM

Just wanted to share this incredibly easy DIY in case anyone didn’t already know it…if you wanna get rid of the obnoxious USA spec yellow warning labels on your sunvisors:

Mix 50/50 acetone and water.

Apply to a clean microfiber.

Scrub the labels till they’re gone.

You can go straight acetone if you’re VERY careful not to keep the microfiber in one spot for more than a second or two. It will eat the vinyl after a bit of time.

If the label is being an asshole, grab a plastic bristle brush and scrub that shit out.

You just saved yourself $300+ dollars. Enjoy.

Rubbing alcohol works as well and is a lot safer on plastic than acetone.

Done this before but always ended up with an patch of shiny adhesive where the label once resided.
