That's the exact process I followed to remove them on my '13 427 Convertible. I'm hesitant to try it on my '17 Z06 with the suede, but phantasms says it was easy, so I may give it a shot.....Don't want to screw them up, because these puppies are expensive!

You guys didn't read the fine print did you?
That is a warranty voidable offense. And just gave GM lawyers and easy out.
Would they enforce it? Probably not. But if the safety information on those stickers could have avoided a life-threatening injury, well.

On my 2015 non-suede they were on their 2 months before I took them off and they were difficult even with heat. They also stretched the visor cover somewhat and I never could get all the residue %100 off no matter how much goo gone I used. End result they still looked better with them off.
On my 2016 suede they had been on there a year and came off really easily with heat and what little residue they left came off easily. I finally found a reason to like the suede upper option.

Seems moral of the story is take them off the first day you get the car. Hopefully it's a fresh part. Mine came off as if it was static cling that first day.

The 1st mod done to any car I buy is to remove (or cover) the visor warning sticker(s). I refuse to look at some governmentally required caution label which does not apply to me written in a language I can’t read!

I ended up covering the safety stickers with a carbon fiber looking vinyl material. Worked out great.

I took mine off. I did the drivers side in the car, then I took the passenger side out of the car and used some dry cleaning solution and and iron. Wiped the solution on the label and then put a towel over it and steamed it with an iron. The label came right off, then steamed it again a couple of times to get the balance of the residue. It looked so good, I took the drivers side out and repeated the process to get the residue off. They look great.

I left mine on for when I'm at a long red light and my phone is dead, I have something to read to keep me occupied.

Why are you trying to read your visor stickers while driving? I could understand if you were trying to keep up with the varying dash displays and "heads up" displays in the various driving modes, but I never considered the visor warning stickers to be all that much of a challenge.
