Annoying airbag warning labels

[blue2000s]

I think I found the answer to My own question here,

Visor airbag stickers

I didn't realize it was a sticker. It looks like it's printed directly to the plastic.

I took mine off a couple weeks ago. It was pretty easy. Just be patient. I used denatured alcohol and a small white terry cloth towel. I worked with the visors in-place. Takes a little rubbing and a little soaking/saturation time. Don't let any of the little bits of wet sticker get on your leather or dash.

When I was done, I wiped off the visors with some vinyl conditioner.

This increased HP by about 3.5!!!! Really

that's the key: denatured alcohol. and they are NOT stickers, they're silk screened. it's much easier to do if you remove the mirrors from the visors (they pop right out).

So what is it, silk screened or sticker? You wouldn't be able to peel anything off if it's silk screened right to the visor.

Hi,

It's a sticker albeit a very thin one. A note of Caution: Removing these stickers could make you liable if you ever sell the Car or someone is hurt while driving with you. In a litigation, an Attorney will argue that you tampered with the Safety Equipment of the Car - a stretch I grant you, but we're talkin' Attorneys here. In any event, it will cost you $$ to defend your action. If selling the Car, be sure to note this in the Bill of Sale - Safe over Sorry...

I really don't believe that arguement would hold water.

I don't know lawyers will sue over just about anything. I just bought a new tub for my house and it came with a sticker that said "CAUTION - Do not throw out baby with bath water."

Hi,

Don't be so sure. Technically (and that's the World Attorneys live in), these stickers are part of the Safety Equipment of the Car. An Attorney would of course be trying to get to your Insurance Co. through you - the Deep Pockets.

I used to work for a multi-Billion dollar Company which was Self-Insured - Hyatt Hotels. As an EVP, I spent fully 40-60 Hrs. annually in classes run by Attorneys teaching us to look for ways to avoid liability. They literally took the most mundane ordinary things and showed how you could be sued over them.

As an example, Hyatt, like every other major chain used to put adhesive anti-slip strips in their Bath Tubs. It was found that the incidence of people falling in the Tubs did not decline, but rather that the Hotel assumed a liability by placing the strips. The reasoning was that the Hotel recognized a hazard, but addressed it insufficiently - people still fell, making them liable for negligence. Turned out it was better (read cheaper) to eliminate the strips altogether and just pay for the guests' medical charges rather than additional awards for negligence. Also, buy any extension Ladders lately? Seemingly half of their strength comes from the myriad of warning labels stuck to them. Yet invariably, someone always climbs and stands on the Top Rung, falls, and sues the manufacturer.

It's only prudent that if you remove them, that you note this in a Bill of Sale - that they are missing. This way, you have cautioned the Buyer that the condition exists and are not therefore negligent...
