Default Has anyone taken airbag stickers(?) off visors?...

I am tempted to try but am not sure if they will come off clean.

I just waited for a hot day...they peel right off. Any remaining glue can be removed with Goo Gone. I'm sure if you heated up the stickers with a hair dryer or something, they'd come off pretty easily.

Default Watch out...they are hard, don't use fingernails...

They come off clean, ok on the '00 models - I assume it is the same for all. However, the material is actually pretty rigid. Be careful if you use a fingernail or something, the sticker will slice right up under.

Otherwise it is pretty trivial.

Easy; I peeled them off while at 1 red light, then rubbed off what little glue remained at the next.

Default They are ugly. Peeled mine off while taking delivery last week.


They came off very easily and left no residue. I just held the vinyl down as I pulled each inch of label up to keep from possibly tearing or stretching the vinyl.

When I did my '98 a couple years ago, it did leave some residue to rub off but that one had sat on dealer's lot for several months before I bought it.

Default Be careful...

Don't pull them off so that the sticker is perpendicular to the visor. I feel this might stretch out the visor material. Instead, try a lower angle (like 30 degrees) and pull back/up at the same time. Mine came off much more easily this way.
