Solved! ("Remove Before Use" 'film' on display is not removable?!)

Just bought a 2022 GLC 300. The words "Remove Before Use" (on the left lower corner, along with "MOPF253" on the right lower corner) seem to be on a protective film on the display. However, there is no protruding tab to peel off the sticker, and my attempts to remove using my fingers have been unsuccessful. My dealer (HOI, Buena Park) says this: "Yes, it seems Mercedes printed those letters ('Remove Before Use') on the display itself, and not on the protective film, which was already removed from your vehicle." I gotta call BS on this. Any suggestions?

Cannot remove this protective film that says "Remove Before Use."

Ummm... Do the letters disappear when you turn the car off?

No, the white letters (which have a raised texture) are there all the time, car on or off. Weird, huh?

my salesman must've removed ours before delivery; maybe try some blue painters tape?

​​​​​​Maybe not a genius, but smarter than your dealership 😃
