Air bag sticker removal?

How can I get them off the cloth side of the sunvisors without leaving a bunch of nasty residue? I thought I had seen something about it before on this site but couldn't find it.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

I found a post that said to apply ice to the sticker which will harden the adhesive and should make it come off. Haven't tried it yet but maybe I will today, I'll post how it came out whenever I do.

Ok Rallyred, here's the 411 on the ice technique. It made it come off easier but it did little to actually remove the adhesive. I held ice cubes on it for about 5 minutes then slowly peeled. It left a slightly shiny residue. Looks better than the sticker but is still noticeable. I don't know if there is any way to remove the rest of the adhesive or not. Afterward I scraped it while still applying the ice and that seemed to help some. Still not perfect though. I would say do it unless you are expecting it to look as though there were never a sticker there. Does anyone have any ideas on how to remove the remaining adhesive w/o ruining the cloth?[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG] Must be nice Brill. Here in the states they are apparently airbag paranoid, because we have the stickers on BOTH sides of the visor!
