I think there was a thread about this before the crash. Removing the airbag stickers on the vanity mirrors. anyone do it? I think you use an iron? what are the results? can you still see where the stickers were? Any pics of the result?

Use a hairdyrer and peel them off slowly. You'll be left with a little "ghost" outline of where the stickers were. THEN use an electric toothbrush while aiming the hairdryer at the outline to get rid of it. Here are my pics:

I would have to replace the cheap-o-depot headliner before worrying about a little safety sticker, but if it really bothers you that much why not get one of those "no bra" stickers to cover it up?

Hair Dryer worked very well...

Heat them up and begin to peel them off (Very slowly)...

Afterwards, take a little kerosene on a rag and wipe the access glue away...

just a word on this...

firefighters and emergency workers use those stickers to determine whether the car has an airbag or not during emergencies, especially when attempting to remove someone from a wreck. We've all seen the video's of how much force there is when an airbag deploys-the last thing a firefighter needs is an airbag going off when they are trying to save someone.

Yes, I know that if someone has to be pulled from a car, chances are that the airbags have gone off, but that is not always the case.

Remove them if you wish, but remember that no matter how ugly they are, keeping them there may help you, your loved ones, or the person trying to save you.

Well, here I go. I wonder if there is even a legal liability if you remove the sticker.
Let's say you sell or trade the car and it is not there. Is that a federal violation because the warning is required?

While I agree with you in principle, I think that 99% of all vehicles on the road today have airbags. So, maybe this is not so much of an issue.

all new vehicles have airbags..however, in the heat of the moment, a rescuer is not going to stand back and try to determine the year of the car...especially since they use the stickers on the visor to determine as a matter of procedure in some/most departments.

Granted, the steering wheel and dash have the SRS logo on them, but the logo's are not in the same place on every car, nor are they nearly as noticable as the giant yellow stickers...

not to start a fight or anything, just making a (hopefully valid) point

I would not even try to remove them myself, it may cost you greatly. I got arested and did four years in a turkish prison before I escaped for tearing off matress tags! They have the same police divisions investigating both types of crimes (matress tag and airbag warning tags). Also, beware if you have a four wheel drive vehicle, they have safety tags on the visor too and they will snap you up if you tamper with them too.

Did it. It worked fine. A note. The stickers inform you that you should not put child seats in the front. Even though the seat should recognize this as under 75 pounds the airbag could still deploy. It also says that children should always sit in the rear. The sticker to say that there is an airbag in the car is on an elastic band and sits in my glove compartment. Also I would never put a child seat in the front, let alone carry any future children of mine in the mustang, will have a different car for that.

Whoa there 05Retro--My 3 year old would be heartbroken if I didn't let him ride in my stang anymore. When I pick him up at daycare his first question is "Did you drive your convertible daddy?"

He rides in the backseat of course, but how else can we raise the next generation of stang lovers?
