Thanks for the link! Just ordered - probably the best $16 I’ve ever spent on this car.
In my eyes, a black “patch” looks a hell of a lot better that a bright yellow one with lots of writing on it😎

If one has race-tex sun visors, would it be easier to remove the warning labels with the help of a hair dryer/heat gun?
IIRC, my detailer was able to do that easily on my former 997.2 with its alcantara sun visors... though not sure if the same would work for 992 race-tex.

I know this topic has been covered many times before but….. in my last Audi the yellow stickers were not removable with alcohol etc. because they were somehow silkscreened on. I had to buy new ones without the yellow label. In my various Porsches purchased a number of years ago, the alcohol process worked great and the stickers ultimately peeled off. Given that Audi and Porsche get many of the parts from the same VW parts bin, I wonder if anyone has been successful removing the yellow stickers from current model (2023/24) 992s?

Black Stickers. You can buy thin black vinyl at the craft store for $ 3 a sheet (you only need one sheet). Cut 'em, stick 'em...done.

I optioned the leather visors from the factory, every indication is that they will come with the stickers. I am hesitant to put any kind of applique on top so as not to damage the leather visor.

All this talk about stickers to cover up the "warning". Why not just use Duct Tape? It's exactly this sort of thing that Duct Tape was invented to handle.

I have never minded the stickers on any car, especially because they are hidden unless you lower the visors.
(On a Cabriolet, I guess one could argue that the warning labels are visible and unsightly, even when folded up, if the top is down).

And the duct tape adhesive will destroy the visor material if you ever try to take it off.
