Annoying airbag warning labels

3M adhesive remover will take them off in 1/10th the time - just be sure not to soak in this stuff. Just use it on a rag and watch the silk screening peel off.

Use a vinyl conditioner afterwards.

3M adhesive remover takes them off??? Lawyers or labels. I used denatured alcohol on my labels. Wonder which removes lawyers better?

I'm so happy I found this thread. Lately those gaudy stickers have been irritating me. They look like Ghostbuster stickers! They're coming off.

You can also use goo-gone. That's what I did. Make sure to remove them before you start. That stuff gets all over the place.

It's so nice to not have those yellow stickers screaming at you every time you get in the car.

Thatlooks really good, much cleaner. They actually bother me more with the top down for some reason.

So what did you end up using to get them off? I haven't found the 3M locally.

I was ready to do this but now concerned about the legal issues, not that I'm planning on selling the car ever.

As soon as I get some good weather here on a weekend... I'm going to go clean the PEEEIISSSSSS out of my car... and I think I'll also remove these ugly looking labels. I'll try to pick up some 3M Adhesive Remover... it seems to be the best chemical for the job.

I bought the 3m adhesive remover and it worked OK but I actually had much better luck with alcohol. I took the visors off the car. Then wet a rag with alcohol and let it sit on the label for about 2 minutes and carfully peeled the sticker off.

There's still a residue from the sticker adhesive when you do it this way. The best thing that I found to remove the residue is (gasp) laquer thinner. It made me pretty nervous at first but it turned out great. I tried the 3m stuff and it just didn't seem to get all of it off, plus the 3m stuff needed alot more rubbing, which can stretch the vinyl. I just gently rubbed the sticker area with a thinner-soaked rag until the shiney residue was totally gone.

After removing the adhesive, I ran across the visor with a coat of Mother's Back to Black and everything looks great.

I don't think the legality arguement makes any sense.
