Car Forum / Ford / Ford Explorer / November 2005Visor Sticker Removal Help
Has anyone tried to remove the stickers from the visors? If so, what did you try and how did it work out? I am tired of seeing those stickers all over my visors and would like to take them off. > Has anyone tried to remove the stickers from the visors? If so, what > did you try and how did it work out?

They have probably changed the glue and/or label material over the years, so it is probably not that easy for all vintage Explorers. Mine is a 96. On my '05, they are very well attached and it seems like that mousy fabric would tear before they come off. I'm thinking of using a hair dryer to heat them and then try it. I could not even get a corner to start when I tried it earlier today. >> Has anyone tried to remove the stickers from the visors? If so, what >> did you try and how did it work out?

Ford (and other manufacturers) place these stickers for liability reason... they do not want them coming off in shipping. With the CD holster in place, I can't see mine. One of the things we check during the PDI process is to ensure that these labels are present and securely attached..... Just thought someone would like to know... > On my '05, they are very well attached and it seems like that mousy > fabric would tear before they come off.

Yeah, I know it's all about CYA and product liability. I just want to get rid of them. Maybe the best bet is your idea to cover them up with something else. >Ford (and other manufacturers) place these stickers for liability reason... >they do not want them coming off in shipping.

Mine had been on a three or four years before I peeled them off. Perhaps the glue deteriorates over time, and you might be able to get them off in 2008. I can almost guarantee that they've changed visor material, label material, glue, or some combination of the three between 96 and 05, so your guess is as good as mine. For what it's worth, I'm having the same problem with some blinds I just bought. So it's not just cars. > On my '05, they are very well attached and it seems like that mousy > fabric would tear before they come off.

I used a heat gun. The fabric type ones came off fairly easy. Go slow... and carefull... too much heat will melt the fabric. The shiny plastic one came off as well but left alot of adhesive on the fabric. Repeated applications of laquer thinner via a paper towel eventually wicked up the adhesive. Another thoought is a couple of visor mounted CD/organizers. |
