Default Safety Info on SunVisor

Has anyone covered or tried to remove the annoying Safety/Airbag Sticker on the visors?

If so, what did you do to remove or cover it?

I'm not interested in the custom sunvisor cover...yet.

After market covers from RPI et. al. are cool.

Personally I went with the no-sticker look and took mine off with some goof-off.

You can remove the warnings, but it can be a tedious process. I removed them from my Machine Silver 05 coupe, but I elected to cover them in the MR 06 coupe that I have now.

They're best removed with a hair dryer on high heat. Slowly peel off as much as you can. Then use a stiff brush with some type of generic glue remover to get the remainder. Usually, this will leave a shadow on the visors that will gradually disappear after 3 - 6 months.

That sounds do-able. It almost looks like the sticker is really silk-screened on. Thanks JimTN.

hair drier, a trimmed toothbrush, goo-gone extreme spray, a towel or sheet to catch the debris.

I think that the ones on my C6 were installed incorrectly. That is to say that they are for a different car than my C6.

This is because they refer to putting kids in the back seat.

I have looked and looked for it (bought the car used), originally thought that maybe they were under the mat, or the seller forgot to provide them to me. Anyway, I still can't find the back seat.

Default Self-Stick Covers for the Air Bag Stickers

I just bought the Covers from Mid-America. The material matches the visor material perfectly, they are self-stick and took twenty seconds to put on. $14.99 for a pair.

The "back seat" safety reminder cracked me up too. Now it's gone.

Thanks again.
Going to try the RPI decal/sticker.
Something tells me the govt. had something to do with that "air-bag/child-seat" sticker.

You can even buy 'sticker' paper at an office supply store and make your own custom sticker to cover the safety label. I covered mine with a custom design...


Even with the extreme heat here in Arizona they've stayed on fine.

RPI ones work nicely. I dissed them at first as they peeled, but after 2 or 3 times of putting pressure on the corners where they peeled, they seem to be sticking nicely now.
