Sunvisor Warning Lables
I remember some time ago a thread about someone making a replacement warning lable to cover the ugle factory one. I did a search with no luck. Anyone out there remember who/where? )

Don't believe...
I read all the posts about how easy the stickers are to get off. DON'T believe it! I used a hair dryer to pull mine off and I now have two white squares where the sticker were, tried Goo Gone to get the squares off, didn't work, and I finall went to a fabric store and bought some spray dye and sprayed the visors which helped, but you can still see where the stickers were, A real horror show when you are talking about a $60,000 car. GM should be ashamed for putting permanent adhesive on a sticker that warns about baby seats!

For them, it is just like the "warning" on a pack of cigarettes...
If it took more than 5 minutes, you did not learn the correct technique...

Before we beat on anyone too much for having trouble removing the stickers:
On my C5, I used a hair dryer and removed the stickers as soon as I got the car home. They both came off easily and left no residue.
A year later, one of the visors was replaced under warranty (mirror came loose). Of course, the new visor had the same label on it. Of course, I got out the hair dryer and removed it. This one was a real b!tch to remove, and it left a faint mark that 4 years of trying with different chemicals was never able to remove.
Apparently, not all visors are created equal.

Or, the replacement visor may have been sitting in a warehouse for a year or more while the glue petrified.
