Does anybody have a good way of taking the sticker off of the glove box without damaging the finish.

Welcome to NAM! :smile:

This is a commonly dicussed topic; if you click on [search] above and type in "airbag sticker", you'll find more info than you could ever care to know.

I just picked at a corner and peeled mine off as soon as I got in the car, and no residue was left behind.

if there are any residue left behind, just dab dab dab dab the adhesive
backing on the sticker and it'll pull it off. :smile:

Hot water and a sponge.Soak it good and the glue softens up in a few minutes.The sticker peels off easily.No mess at all.

Welcome Tommyb! Once you get that one off, how about the warning stickers on the visors? Many of us have removed them as well, for a clean look.

They remove easily by soaking denatured alcohol (from your favorite hardware store) in a paper towel and holding up to the visor. After about a minute, take away the paper towel and the sticker should be kinda wrinkly. Rub it right off with your finger.

God speed.
