For those that removed the stickers off the visors.
How did you get the sticky glue residue off after taking the stickers off?


I too removed the insulation under the hood. I also removed all the stickers and trail rated badge.

I used a little bit of goo gone for most of it and got the rest off with my thumb.

I just took em off.

I used a hair dryer to warm the stickers up and they came right off. All the glue came off with the sticker. I didnt have to use goo gone or rubbing alcohol either.

I removed the stock decals everywhere and the bright JEEP letters on my grille. I refuse to advertise. I will reattach them as soon as I finish modifying my grille but they will be different. The stock air dam came off instantly.

On the first one I used rubbing alcohol and elbow grease. On the second one, I tried a trick my mom taught me. After slowly pulling off the sticker (it came off mostly in one piece) I used the sticky back of the removed label to dab off the residue. Kind of like sopping gravy with bread, to use a Southern reference. Worked VERY well.
