The sun visors on the vehicle came with very distracting white/yellow/black stickers on them that seem to be impossible to remove. I have tried to order visors without the stickers but have been told it IS not possible to do so in the u.s. the visors contain warnings about airbags which I have read thorougly and understand (that's what the owner's manual IS for anyway). the stickers create a constant distraction from the road while I am driving, as I have this bright, garish, white/yellow/black thing constantly jumping into my eyes, especially as the sun hits them (the car IS a convertible). I feel that something which draws my attention away from the road while I am driving IS a major safety problem, and would like a set of visors without this sticker on them.
