Default Removing sunvisor warnings

I know there have been other posts on this topic but I tried something different. Because it was kind of dark in my car in the carport Ithought that I would need some light to see what I was doing with the hair dryer.So I thought I,ll get my trouble light extension cord and plug the hair dryer into it to see.Then I thought DUH since some of you fellas had to be carefull not to over heat with the hair dryers why not try heating with the light.I had a 60 whatt bulb and I turned the visor to where the bulb would be under it and the heat would rise and it gave good results. I have a little residual glue to get off later but I found you could get as close as you wanted without meltdown whitch is what we want .The hardest thing was using tweesers to get it started.

Good idea. Glad it worked.

My wife used to have to hang a light bulb in her engine compartment overnight when it was raining ouside so her FIAT would start in the morning.

Lightbulbs are great for all sorts of things.

I really clean off any adhesive I found a .99 can of spray BraClean (yes brake cleaner) works best. It has no oily residue or smell. It seems to work like a dry cleaning fluid w/o the smell. I bought a can at Advanced Auto for .99 cents and have used it on all my buddies cars when we remove visor label’s.

I tried the heat gun with tape method and found it to be really a pain as far as time, 1/2 hour for 1/2 a sticker. Tried Lepage's Contact Cement Cleaner ( water based ) and removed the the balance of the first sticker and the other sticker in 15 minutes. Use a J cloth or paper towels. No heat required.
