'09 airbag warning on visor!

mleskovar · 07-12-2009, 05:38 PM

I've read the threads about using Goof Off/Goo Gone to remove the airbag warning sticker on the visor but that didn't work on my car. These are not stickers....it looks like the warnings were silk screened directly on to the visor. No sticker. Anyone have luck removing this type of warning label???

It's still a sticker, but very thin. Keep rubbing and it'll come off.

Are you sure you tried Goof Off? Should work. Put some on a rag and hold it against the "sticker" for a minute or two. The sticker will start to bubble and then you can begin peeling it off. Goo Gone will not do anything.

Goof Off worked!

I thought Goof Off and Goo Gone were basically the same....wrong. And it is paint, not a sticker. Thanks!

OMG, my dad gives me shit about the "sticker" every time hes in my car. I figured there was nothing I could do about it since it wasnt an actual sticker but I am going to try and use Goof off right now

Thanks guys

Thank you guys for this thread. Just removed the passenger side sticker with goof off, very simple.

I am going to wait a few days to see if there is any discoloration and will then do the driver side. I noticed the rag turning slightly black after rubbing the entire surface with goof off after the stick was removed but everything looks fine so far.
