Sun visor warning decal removal mod

[PaulNY]

So, I couldn't stand looking at the white/yellow factory warning stickers on my sun visors driving down the road. Therefore, I decided to remove them and was actually surprised how easy it was. For those interested, just take a blow dryer, heat the sticker up (don't go too hot) and start pealing from the corner and once started, the whole sticker pealed off in one piece. It looks so much better, and while there is still a slight hint that the sticker was there, it's much cleaner looking. I can only assume the sticker came off that easily since my rig is new and the sticker hadn't been on the visor through a hot summer, or lengthy period of time.

Good news! Thanks for your post here. I know the warning decals on the JK don't come off like that.

I'm in hopes that other JL owner's here that remove the visor warning decals post in this thread and let other know if their warning decal removal went as uneventful as yours did.

You're welcome, and I was a little nervous at first. However, I just put the blow dryer on the low setting and patiently went back and forth in a sweeping motion while slowly peeling back the label. I was scared that it would only come off in little pieces and would take all afternoon, but both sides maybe took 10 minutes total. The key is to be patient.

That is the first mod I do to every vehicle I buy. I usually just park it facing the sun and fold the visors down. The decals will pull right off.
Some take a little heat but rarely leave any residue.

I see you're in Alabama where the sun shines often. Unfortunately, here in upstate, we haven't seen sun in quite some time So, I had to compromise and cheat with a blow dryer.

I have used the blow dryer a few times, like you said it just stakes a little heat.

How do you like the Dunlops? Are they very noisy?

LOVE them. I did my research before hand, and they get rave reviews. Now I know why. They are very quiet, balance out nicely, and man have they provided tremendous grip through the recent two nor'easters we've had here. I am super impressed, and up to this point my favorite tire was the Nitto Ridge Grapplers, but I believe these Fierce Attitude MT's are right there.

I don't have them, I got flip door mirrors on both visors with led lights.

Ed ... So you are saying you have no warning label on both sides of either visor?

Shit, I misunderstood the location of the decals, for some reason, I thought they were on the opposite side (inner visor) shows you how much I pay attention. They are there. I'm just so used to them, I never noticed.
