Sun Visor Sticker Removal...PICS

  

2007gt -> Sun Visor Sticker Removal...PICS (10/21/2006 8:44:15 PM)

The problem...these dumbo stickers:

The solution...OOPS, a tooth brush and a hair drier. The visor was taken off by removing 2 screws with a T25 Torx driver:

I just started soaking the edge of the sticker with the OOPS. Then I started peeling it back

Some areas still had some adhesive reaming:

I applied more OOPS and GENTLY brushed it away:

The cloth was wet and wrinkled so I hit with the hair dryer to dry and smooth it out:

Here's the finished product. Under the bright lights you can still make out where the sticker was. Inside the car I don't see it:

I found out how to do this by searching the forum and putting everyone's techniques together. I thought I try to give back a little to the forum by putting it all together with pictures. So thanks to everyone who posted on this topic. My stickers are gone [sm=shades.gif]

hey that's not a tooth brush...

that's the large end of the combo brush in a weapons cleaning kit, govt issue, of course...

nice little mod. i'll have to put that on my list of winter "to do" stuff :)

You beat me to it x96283! I was about to post the same comment about that "toothbrush"
Hahaha, at least I know where to get mine from. [:D]

I knew that "toothbrush" looked familiar...[sm=bustedsign.gif]

Great post. Good pics. I removed mine with one of those steam "iron your clothes on the hanger" machines. It has about a six foot hose that reached into the car nicely. I didn't take the visor down. I used OOPS to finish the job getting up the last little bit of glue.

Oh great! Now 30 years from now some guy who tries to restore your car is gonna have to try to find the original stickers!
Maybe I should invest some money in factory parts that everyone is replacing?!

bonedaddyjr06 -> RE: Sun Visor Sticker Removal...PICS (11/19/2006 4:00:34 PM)

hey where did you find that sticker for the visor....i'd be interested in one of those

afixer -> RE: Sun Visor Sticker Removal...PICS (11/19/2006 5:11:20 PM)

i made mine but the others are on flea bay

tilt -> RE: Sun Visor Sticker Removal...PICS (7/6/2007 10:55:20 PM)

Thanks for the writeup!

Quick question, is Oops oily?  I have Goo Gone but am concerned that it is too oily and may stain my visor.  If it is basically the same stuff as Oops I will not bother buying Oops and just use the Goo Gone.  Does anyone know?

TPony -> RE: Sun Visor Sticker Removal...PICS (7/6/2007 11:04:13 PM)

Ha! I've been looking for this post for a long time, thanks for bumping it!

wingman75 -> RE: Sun Visor Sticker Removal...PICS (7/6/2007 11:20:13 PM)

Yes, thanks for reserecting it. I was trying to dream up a sleave of some kind to wrap around the visor to cover the label but this is better... and cheaper.

explict -> RE: Sun Visor Sticker Removal...PICS (7/7/2007 2:43:46 AM)

I hate those stickers I like the clean look. I am definately looking for some of that OOPS! stuff. I wonder if Goo Gone would work?
Project for my days off!
