I just took off both visors and set them by my fireplace, came back after 10 minutes and used my finger to clean them off! Worked great!!

I used goo gone, but it was only a somewhat warm day and it took a lot of elbow grease. I think above all else, let the sun beat down on it for a while and get it hot.

Well here is a different fix. Spread a thin coat of peanut butter on the area, and let it set overnight.

The oils in the peanut butter break down the glue. Just wip it off the next day.

This thread reminded me I have been meaning to do this on my 06 Rubi TJ. I tried to pull the stickers to no avail, so I set the visors next to my fireplace and let the heat warm the stickers up. The stickers came right off, so I tried to use some WD-40 to get the leftover glue off. WD-40 did absolutely nothing for me, so I switched to rubbing alcohol and it cleaned them right up.

Cliffs: Heat, pull sticker, let visor cool down, rub with rubbing alcohol. Done!

I used Goop & a clean, dry towel to remove the residual glue after removing stickers from the exterior body.

Everybody has WD40 around and it works great. I spent a lot of years as an auto dealer and tried all the fancy products. Plain old WD40 worls as good as anything else.
