Warning Sticker on sun visor

I still have the warning sticker on the side of the visor when the visors are in their up position (It is also on the other side but that's not my question).

Have you taken these stickers off?

They weren't meant to be taken off. I remember someone who tried, only to have their visor destroyed.


Does that rhyme?

Mine is still on my visor as well. I'm sure that little sticker is what is keeping that car from falling completely apart.

I took mine off immediately. It leaves a gluey residue, so I just got some wipes and slowly got all the goo off of it. Nice and clean !

I took the stickers off but my left rear tire fell off also.
Should I but them back on?

Leave the car overnight without the sticker and you'll lose two cylinders as well.

Seriously, I took mine off right away and carefully removed the residue. When I brought the car in for the first service, it came back with two new ones.

The dealer felt they had some sort of liability if the stickers weren't there. I could have argued, but I figure I'll save it for a battle that matters.

I took it off but instead of throwing it away I placed it under the glove compartment.

Yup. It's kind of like the pillow tags. If you remove those, you'll never sleep again. And, if you unscrew your belly button, your butt will fall off.

I have taken them off of all my cars. I used Goo Gone on both the Alacantra visors and the regular fabric. It also works on the back side where the vanity mirror covers are. I did not lose any parts but I notced that the air pressure in my tires was low after I did it.

What about the discoloration to the fabric?

No problem getting them off, but what about the color change? Can you tell there was a sticker there before or darker underneath...fading?
