Old & in the way.... - 22 Apr 2006 03:08 GMT

Hi all, been lurking for a while learning and rembering, but now I have
specific stuff to ask.

Picked up a new 'o6 coupe a couple of days ago and have been flat amazed at
all of the technology that Chevy has thrown into the mix (L3 & Z51). Plus
the handling and power! What power (and I just got a run of the mill 400 hp
model). The last vette I had was a new "65 396. While a sweet ride with
power, it was nothing like these new rides.

I am a happy camper but for the sticker shock!

Stuck to things that would be otherwise beautiful. Someone stuck garish
stickers that while they are, I am sure, telling me good things, are just
flat ugly.

Is there anyway to remove, short of acid or military lasers, those warning
stickers stuck to visors etc.?

You probably took them off your mattress also, didn't you? If so use a hair
drier to soften the adhesive and slowly pull them back over its self and
they will come right off. The time you have to serve will not be any more
for both than if you just do your mattress. Don't worry if you ruin one, I
have some spares. Not sure if it is capital punishment if you take off the
child seat anchor point stickers.

I hope you can live with the shame, and welcome to this evil group.

Oh the shame of it all, a life of crime............ but with time off for
good behavior I am now out on the mattress charges (yes there was more than
one)
and look'in to use what I've learned.

The heat sounds good, like with all the decals that were stuck all over one
of my jeeps, but won't the heat hurt the vinyl on the visor? Streatch it
causing sags? Saggy visors are a bummer.

Thanks........

That's why you pull it back over its self. If it don't come loose easy you
may need to rethink their removal, I've never had a problem.

I just went out to check and they are on cloth not vinyl. An even better
deal I think, so in the morning I'll steal the ol' lady's hair dryer and
give it a try.

I understand the pull off back over itself technique.

Thanks, brian
