Default Visor yellow sticker removal on new 911s

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?

You can also get stickers to cover the warning labels, if you’re ok with that approach or want something reversible…

$35 for two black stickers? Are they leather at least? I am getting leather visors so I worry about damaging them with an adhesive sticker.

I'm going to try to cover my visors in genuine perforated black leather. Just received about 10 square feet of the leather for about $50.

No problem removing with rubber alcohol but does take a little time. Like 20 min per visor.

I used a sponge and soaked them for like 10 min brushing back and forth before peeling.

The color is a perfect match. Unless you knew they were there, you'd never notice them.

FYI

Even when you successfully remove the yellow sticker there is still a shiny blemish of where the sticker was present.

For me it is not an issue but for some it could drive you crazy.

In my eyes the visors look better with the OEM stickers that come with every car than that patch which looks like a repair.
