Try a hair dryer first. And then pull them off. You my need to use something to get the glue off the paint. I don't know if Goo Gone is safe for paint or not. I know gasoline will remove almost any thing but that might not be good for your clear coat. You may have to use good ole fashioned elbow grease to get the glue off. Use hot water that might help.

if they are the ones that stick to the paint on the outside of the window i would try to heat them alittle then pull them off slowly....the ventvisors do create wind noise...i have the in-channel type and they also cause noise....even the bugshield on front of my truck causes some wind noise @ 65+ mph...these trucks are so quiet without any of these plastic add-ons that when you install the visors or a bshield you notice the noise easily....i like the looks of the add-ons so i just turn up the radio so you cant hear the wind noise...

I have the in-channel ones and they are quiet. I did a comparision when I put them on.... just barely a difference in wind noise.

the ones i have on mine have that piece that goes down next to the mirror...i think thats where most of the noise is created...i have not seen any in-channel visors for the screws that dont have this....will the regular and extended cab visors fit on the screw?..the windows look the same...

If that doesnt work, find a sign company that works with vinyl letters, like the ones that are on the doors of work trucks. My wife works for one and they have some stuff that will take it off safely.
