Air Bag Label

So my MINI has 419 miles on it after a week, and I'm already tired of looking at the Air Bag disclaimer on the glove box door. It ruins the whole look of the dash in my opinion. Any suggestions for removal without damaging the finish on the door itself?

Mine came off very easily with no mess. Might want to make sure its warm first though

Mine just peeled off. No residue was left behind. If you are in a colder region, perhaps go at with a hair dryer first to heat it up a bit.

Use a blow dryer to warm it up a bit and it will peel right off. If there is any adhesive residue after removing the sticket, just use a bit if rubbing alcohol.

Thanks. I figured it may come right off, but didn't want to be to cavalier. Here in Northern Ohio it's ~16 degrees, so I believe the hair dryer is in order.

Mine left some residue, which wiped right off with a little application of 3M Adheasive remover. Find it at most auto parts stores.

Hair dryer for 30 seconds then Goo Gone (if needed) worked great for me.

Shouldn't need Goo Gone... It looked to me like it was designed to be removable - mine just peeled off (unlike the annoying ones on the sun visors... those need to be removed chemically. Grrrrr...)

These stickers are a great idea. I ordered the "S" one, which I am a little underwhelmed about. The other ones look better in person, I think. But just my 2 cents.

If you are disappointed in them and have not put them on the visors yet you can return them with a note saying whcich other ones you would rather have. We'd like you to be happy with your purchase!

Here is the link to the decals...

Thank you! They aren't bad. I couldn't decide between the S and other one, so I think that's just it. These are certainly nice.
