Hi.

I'm wondering if anyone has successfully removed the idiot stickers on the sun visors without ruining them on the '03 Z06's?

I ran a search on this and only pulled up information about removing them successfully on '01 or '02 Z06's. Someone mentioned that the newer cars like mine ('03) have the stickers applied with a stronger adhesive and I don't want to ruin anything.

TIA,

Bob

I tried on one of my older vettes and messed it up. so im not going to touch it.

If it helps any, on my '02 I just got it started in the corner a carefully lifted it off. All OK.

I leave mine on....never even notice it.

Zipster :z: :z:

Mine came off nicely and I stuck them in the notebook with the windowsticker.

It is virtually impossible to get the stickers off the 03s (At least the early builds like mine). I wound up shredding it into tiny little strips, leaving a lot of the glue behind. Only way I could even get a start was after the car had sat in the TX sun all day, about 150 inside).

I took mine off my 02. No problem. I put them on plastic backing
and put them in my owners manual.

Heh.. Do you mean to tell me that prior to my car being built, they were easy to take off? Then.. After my car was built, they changed it again and made it easier to remove?

Same here. Used slow steady pressure-they came off without tearing or any damage to the visor.

Mine look like they are melted into the fabric. I think mine are on to stay.

This has been discussed elsewhere. The '03's are different and very hard to remove. Haven't heard of a successful removal, although perhaps someone has done so.

Yup.

I could bearly even get mine started and then thought I had screwed it up, so I went ahead and just ripped if off. To my suprise it was ok.

On my '02, I was able to rip them off without a problem. I've heard that on the '03s they used some kind of nuclear glue which makes removal nearly impossible.

The irony of it kills me. The steering column still locks up, the gas gauge still doesn't work, but by golly, we've got the best sticker glue in the industry! Nothing quite like misguided R&D.

Very easy to peal off my 02. Put them in the garbage.
I won't be able to live long enough for this to be a collector's car.

Ha! Please explain to me what the problems are that you mention? What's this steering column and gas gauge thing?

Aw come on! You can be a fast geezer at 90 in your Z06. Shades of "Little Old Lady from Pasedena".

I just left mine on. It adds a little color to the interior.

Well at least I am not alone...in ruining the visor in my 03.
I peeled and it sticked (stuck), so the best I could do with the mess is laboriously remove the remnants and now live with a ghost image on one of my visors......I do find the stickers distracting when I am driving and do not understand the intent of making the unsightly label almost unremovable....Be that as it may, I am not taking the passenger label off....ever, just covered it with a picture of a Viper.
