Annoying airbag warning labels

How have you removed the airbag warning labels from your sun visors? I mean, come on, a label on one side directing you to the other side? What's up with that?

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

http://986forum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4125&highlight=airbag+warning

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...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
