Question Air Bag Warning Labels on Visors?

Anybody know how to safely (ie, without damaging the visor) remove the air bag warning labels from the visors on a TL-S? Spouse says they gotta go, but how?

Can't, I believe they are ironed on. Like a patch. If you try to remove them, it will fvck up your visor. I believe someone tried it already.

Question

My wife removed them from my Explorer a few years ago by wetting a sponge, placing it over the label for a while, then peeling off the label (with no damage to visor). That trick didn't work on the TL-S! If it is heat-applied, anybody know any tricks for removing it (any chemicals maybe)?

Better leave them alone - you will only mess up your car. I don't even notice mine any more.

A friend of mine has an S2000 with the same issue. Apparently a guy from the S2000 board made S2000 stickers that perfectly covered the air bag information. It looks alot better.

My wife has a Honda S2000 with the seat belt labels covered by very nicely designed and crafted S2000 labels produced by Rick Hessel (spelling?). He does a lot of specialty items that my wife has purchased and is very happy with.

The advice given on a BMW board I visit said to try using a hair dryer on them for a few minutes. Supposedly they just peel off, but maybe BMW applies theirs differently...

Why doesn't everybody make cars as well as Acura?

I believe the BMW's are leather/pleather while ours are fabric.


So a VERY old thread resurrected.... does anyone have any new information on this that we may have gathered in the last 6 years since this thread was last replied to?

lmao!

I'd like to get rid of those unsightly warnings.

WOW I think this takes the cake for oldest thread to be brought back from the grave LOL. My math is a bit fuzzy 2001 would be more close 8 years...

Doubt you can remove, but you sure can put this over it!

Question

Just a thought: Is there a Safety Act clause that says tampering with or removing notices such as these is against the law? No problem until you get caught at the most inopertune time. Not so much for you but for the next buyer. I don't know, I'm just sayin'. JC
