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."

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.

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...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
