Those ugly visor stickers

[zavetsky]

Talking about those airbag stickers on the inside sunvisors....

Anyone have any luck removing them without toasting the material on the visors??

Seems like they are iron-ons or something...was going to try a heat gun but dont want to ruin the visors...

I have seen those stock-on cover-up Dodge decals, etc that some folks use, but I just want them bare....

Anyone??

Look on Dak usa for intreper. He had some overlays made that I bought from him. They look like brushed Aluminum and they say dodge on them. They just go over the sticker. I think they look awesome and they only cost like $14 I think. Just an idea.

or you can look up 00RedRT ( darren) he can make you some just go to the members link and look for his screen name and send him an email

[twistedrt01]

You could always get them covered also

[zavetsky]

Yeah, I have seen those overlays...Frankly, I dont want ANYTHING on the visors...neither the ugly air bag stickers OR DODGE logos.....

Would just like to have plain old visors.... :)

I have heard that some people have been successful in removing the airbag decal by using a heat gun and being really careful when trying to peel it off, but a lot of people have also tried this and failed.

Darren (00REDRT) typically has his visors made with the R/T logo, but you can certainly have them recovered without any embroidery at all (or pick a different logo).

I've heard the same. maybe you'll get lucky man. What I did to solve my problem of seeing them sticker is I put a CD visor on my side, and a mirror for the g/f on the passenger side, lol.

I was really bored one day waiting in line for the ferry and i started picking at the visor sticker and the passenger side came off perfectly but the drivers side was a different story. it's not sticky but it left this kinda greyish film sorta thing. it's not very noticeable but it's kinda ugly. i'm probably gonna try to get some of that goop-off or whatever it's called, it takes away the sticky goopy stuff off of anything.

try that "goo-gone" its a citrus based cleaner...removes sticky stuff, crayons, goo and it even takes off road tar. you can find it at home depot or longs or save on or something like that.

YA! that's what it's called! thanks...i really need to get some of that stuff for my visor

[YAAAABUDDY03]

wet a towel... lay it on the sticker... and get an iron... lay the iron on the sticker area for a few seconds... try and peel off... do so until it's easy to get sticker off. They should peel off just fine.

Thanks Steve (and Adam) for the kind plug.

they are selling some cover up warning stickers on ebay that have humor on them just a thought. i try using a heat gun on mine and it still left glue on the visor!!

[Ben]
