Default How to remove interior labels?

Has anyone manged to get the warning labels off of the visors or the
child seat labels off of the passenger seat?

If yes, how did you manage that?

Any sugesstions on what NOT to try?

My visor labels came off with no effort after heated with my wife's hair dryer.

Did it leave any adhesive residue? Does the visor look as if it never had any of the labels at all?

With some light angles, there seems to be an adhesive sheen. I have not, however, had time to address that issue. Otherwise, there is no lingering presence of the labels.

Probably a bit of goof-off would get that sheen off. I think this weekend is time to go after those labels.

I did exactly that with my C5. BUT the C6 is of a totally different material, not so cut and dried. The C5 had a felt like material, this is more of a nylon weave and the stickers don't want to even give up a corner.

Default removing labels

Hi, most labels or other soft adhesives can be removed from most surfaces using a citrus based prduct , such as avicleenze or anything that has orange oil in it. I have also used orange peel in a pinch. good luck

Yes, but we're not going to tell you about all of them, so you'll have an excuse to post once in awhile.
