The protective paper is coming off in shreds. It will take me hours to get it all off. And I risk fingernail scratching them.

And what works best to get the adhesive residue off? Window cleaner?

Greg - I went through this a few months ago as my windshield and windwings/sunvisors had been sitting up in my attic for 3 years. The paper was fossilized on to them. I finally resorted to Acetone and it took it off. I tried about everything else, WD-40, Dupont PrepSol, Lacquer Thinner, window clearner, etc, without luck.

However, my visors did have some wierd effect like a slight delamination of a laminated windshield. I think it was from the paper having fossilized on them. I tried polish on them but it didn't really seem to be on the surface. Since they are tinted it's very difficult to see.

The Acetone didn't hurt mine but if you try it I think I would try a bit on a corner just to make sure it doesn't affect yours.
