How many of you have removed the silly MB sticker on you RH windshield?

Whats the purpose of it? Seems to detract from the car.

Anyone?

Thanks!

I take it as a badge of honor, by a company that builds some of the best cars in the world, a Germany car. That is my take on it.

+1, does not bring as much pride as the stamp on the engine . I have had a friend tell me to remove it, but I can't bring myself to do it for whatever reason.

If you think it's a distraction, get one of the new clear ones.

I have this image of you sitting alone in a parking lot staring at it for hours on end. Shaking your head with this mean look on your face, "One of these days you son a b()*+tch, I am gonna get you! OH not today, maybe not tomorrow, but ONE day for sure!"

You really hate that SOB eh?

Can you get another one of these? The original owner of mine ripped it off and stuck it inside the owners manual I'd like to get one in there for sure

I removed mine... for those who would think my windshield is not original anymore could create fogs from his/her mouth and would be able to notice the left-over glue residue that I could not remove.

I don't know what the heck MB used as the glue.... it took me 1.5 hours to remove it

I removed it and put a SOG Special Forces Nam Decal. Looks badass. Its a scull with a green beret and a blast behind it in the shape of a badge.
