Anybody try to remove those Visor warning labels???

[Fordified1]

The @StickerFab overlays match the color surprisingly well. You can’t see them unless light hits them just right. No one will notice they’re there unless you point them out or do the flag ones which are nice too.

I think I'm going with the overlay. Just seems easiest and takes care of the bright yellow the bugs me.

Used Stickerfab solution 2 and a half years ago when I got mine and I forget they are there. They vanish.

I’ve got the black and white flags from sticker fab and love them. I too hated the bright warning stickers. 8 months in and couldn’t be happier. And no problems too!

Just get sticker overlays. @StickerFab has them. No mess. No Fuss.

This is the way.

Can't stand those visor white and yellow warning labels.
I get why they are there.... But I don't want them on my truck.
I tried getting them off another vehicle and it turned into a big mess.
My Bronco is new enough I wonder if a little heat and patience will get them off.

I removed mine after a little bit of patience and less than 30 min. I'll try to upload a pic later. All it took was alcohol or nail polish remover and cotton balls/paper towels and you can barely tell it was there. Took a day or 2 for the smell to dissipate

I think you are the exception. I tried heat, IPA, denatured alcohol, acetone, and a host of other crap and couldn’t get the glue to do anything. Industrial strength goof off finally did dissolve the glue temporarily but it also chemically burned (warped and discolored) the vinyl on the visor

I challenge anyone to even paraphrase what those labels say without going and looking first.

Has anyone in history ever actually read what's on those labels?

Aren’t they the infamous “Bronco II” warning label?

Less offensive maybe?

Too offensive? Only to cry baby lil B!+c#e$!

I’ve removed them successfully, and there are other threads on this.
1. remove the visors first. Makes process so much easier. If you dont have wires just gently pop the cap on the side with a plastic tool. Then unscrew the one bolt underneath and you just gently pull the visor mechanism out. If you have wires, there are other instructions online to remove those. I believe you just unplug it.
2. use a hair drier rather than a heat gun to loosen the sticker, less chance of damaging the vinyl. Very easy, just hold the dryer about an inch over the vinyl and run it up and down on high for maybe 10 seconds or so. Then again gently with your thumbnail just pick at a corner and it will come up very easily. When you pull the sticker off, don’t pull too hard or try to get it all at once you don’t want to stretch the vinyl. Pull the sticker up inch by inch put your freehand on the just-exposed vinyl to keep it taut. You can pause midway to heat the sticker up again, so it comes off easily.
3. getting the adhesive off. This is the interesting part. Most adhesive removers aren’t strong enough and the ones that are, like acetone, will damage the plastic. The trick is a combination of chemical and physical removers using alcohol and a microfiber cloth. I can’t speak to the chemical reaction, but the alcohol doesn’t so much dissolve the adhesive as it loosens it, and the mechanical force of rubbing with the microfiber cloth removes it. put a folded paper towel soaked with a little alcohol over the adhesive area, and let it sit for three or four minutes or so. Then, wearing rubber gloves, wrap the microfiber cloth around your forefinger and middle finger, soak the cloth with some more alcohol, and rub the adhesive. you want to rub fairly hard but not so hard that you stretch the vinyl. You will see the adhesive start to come up. As the microfiber cloth gets clogged with adhesive you need to repeatedly use fresh microfiber. It only takes about a minute or two to rub off the adhesive. It comes off pretty quickly.

there may be very slight discoloration left from reaction between the adhesive and the plastic, but it will be virtually invisible. Way better than putting a sticker over it.

Not the best pic but just to show the results

Thank you for the detailed explanation.
In 50 years, when people are restoring these Broncos, they will be real PO'd if the original labels were removed.

Haha perhaps.

Just ordered Stickerfab blackouts.
Just in case gentle removal goes south.
