Default *DIY* Sun-Visor MakeOver *Pics*

Are you as sick of the ugly warning stickers on your C5 sun-visor, as I am?



Remove them like I did in these easy to do instructions!


Step one, gather your needed tools...



Step two, heat up one end of decal, about 30 seconds with your hairdryer on high heat



Step three, grab a corner with a small set of needle-nose pliers.



Step four, slowly start to pull the decal as it heats up



Keep the heat on the decal and pull slowly as the decal lets go of the sun-visor and pesto!
No more fugly decals!




Happy Motoring!

Did you locate the back seat prior to removing the sticker?

That was a pretty nasty looking sticker on the visor - don't blame you for wanting it off there.

One of the first things I did when I got my C5 home was to heat up the sticker with a hair dryer and peel it off.

Default Sun Visor "Make-Over" I thought you meant THIS.

Now "THIS" is a "MAKE-OVER"...
Crap paper-board broke.
I replaced it with nice thin quality HARD Plywood.
