I picked up my first ever Corvette on the last day of the April 0% financing incentive, and have been having too much fun since then driving it and showing it to others to take care of some minor items. But now it's time ...
I'm having a terrible time trying to peel the airbag warning labels off the sun visors. They're stuck on REALLY well, and come off in little pieces - if you can actually grasp any of the label with your fingertips. I tried using a hairdryer to soften the adhesive but that did not help (I figured a heat gun would just melt the fabric). Tweezers just pulled off even smaller pieces, so ultimately I resorted to using pliers, which seemed to work better, until I wound up putting a small hole in the fabric from pulling too hard.
So I took it to the dealer (who I really like), but the service manager said they cannot remove those labels due to liability. He said they are intended not to be removed. He did say that possibly using tweezers and a razor blade may work.
I really want them off, so I'm looking for other suggestions.
How did you remove yours ... or did you just leave them alone?
Thanks a lot!
As an aside -- I understand the intent of these warning labels, and I think it's fine to affix them where they are, but I don't like that they intend for the consumer to not be able to remove them. Just my opinion.
