Default Stupid question

New '05 coupe owner here, with one small complaint- What in the heck are the 2 stickers on the passenger seat and how do I get them off?!?!? Looks like they are telling me where the child seat anchors are located, but they feel like they are a part of the seat, and not actual stickers. Any help would be appreciated!!!!

Traded in a Porsche 911 for this and WOW am I ONE HAPPY CAMPER!!!! What a BEAST!

There have been lots of posts for the 05 model year and seems a lot of folks have had trouble removing them. Some have actually torn their seat. I don't notice mine anymore, enjoy your car--e

Leave them alone. Many previous posts about people damaging their seats trying to remove them. I don't even notice them anymore.

Got black seats? A magic marker will make short work of them. I've heard of people putting a sticker over them but no one removing them. Most are more interested in removing the silly warning stickers on the visors...

they are for correct positioning of a child seat,should you put one in the car.If you search up there(use the search feature)you may find out how to get them off.I read on here last week,maybe,where a guy did just that.Very carefully,though!

The visor labels come off pretty easily by heating them up with a hair dryer (worked for me). But the tags on the passenger seats have apparently been more problematic (so I haven't even tried the hair dryer on them).

I removed mine by heating very slowly witha heat gun and then peeling off. I suppose it is possible to damage the leather, but if you are very careful and do not over heat or heat too fast, you may have good results.

Sounds like an attorney..."you MAY have good results"...make yourself sign a relaease first and then you won't be able to sue you.

Leave them alone.

I took my C6 for better or worse, in sickness and health, just the way she is.

Well, Lloyds mats, GM license plate frame, Mid America console lid, and a handful of future mods excepted.
