Air bag stickers removed w/pics
I removed the airbag stickers. You can see slight indentation but it sure beats the ugliness. Couldn't find a pic of someone elses in a search.

you don't need to remove visor for removal. Just go slow. Careful though,that hot air on the fingertips starts to hurt like a mother!

A wet cloth and a hot iron will remove the residue. That is also the way to remove the stupid looking decal. I remove them the first week we had the car!
Yes, you remove the visors to do this.

So just get like a dish towel, wet it and run the iron over it? Will it start to peel off on it's own so you know its ready or do you need to start picking at it?
Been meaning to try this but didn't want to chance any residue glue, but want to do it before the visors start fading and will be real noticable.

So the Goo-Gone didn't leave any stain or oily mess on the visor?
For anyone using the heating method, make sure the decal is hot enough. I started out going REAL slow on one corner and there wasn't any residue left behind. Then I got impatient and didn't heat it up enough so the residue on mine looks like a rectangle with the corner missing.

Guys, Why fool with tweezers and all? With the blow dryer ,the sticker came off in 1 full piece. Just don't go too fast.also,no need to remove visor. Work smarter ,not harder!! Use the extra time you saved to cruise around neighborhood and watch as jealous neighbors drool!!

Yep, mine came off during the first week she was home. Used the hair dryer and fingers. Zero residue on the drivers side, but some on the passenger side. Will try some of the above techniques to get rid of the rest. Does look much cleaner.
