Debadging the the trunk lid made me happy but I am much happier now that I have removed my air bag warning decals from my sun visors! :biggrin:

I know I'm bad...
I should have taken pics while I was doing it, but I got caught up in the moment!

I took 2" masking tape and taped close around the decal.
I used "Goof Off" in the original small can that looks like lighter fluid.
Saturated a clean rag with the goof off and daubed it on the decal, got it plenty wet. Did that a couple times.
Then started to rub lightly in one direction as I kept the rag plenty wet and continued to use a section of the rag that was clean.
The decal will start to break down and roll off in little balls. Continue until you're finished.
Remove the masking tape and go over it one more time.
Then I took 91% alcohol and cleaned up the area.
It will leave a slightly raised and lighter area where that decal was, but in time it will blend back to where it should be.
As I was rubbing the decal off - some of the very small pieces fell onto the seats and carpet, but I used more masking tape rolled backwards on my hand to clean it up ( kind of like getting lint off of your black pants.)

Took me a total of 30min to do both visors.:smoking:

I would rather save my lungs and try something less toxic, like 440 sand paper.

Sand paper is a bad idea. I was thinking about trying a heat gun

good lord no, even if you tried very very hard not to singe the fabric, you will.

how bout something less hot, like a hairdryer.
