So as I was walking up to my truck,  sun visors down,  I noticed how goofy those warning stickers on the visors look.  I peeled them off,  which was a real pain to do,  and although its better, now I'm stuck with a sticky residue where the stickers were.   Anyone have an idea of how to get that off without discoloring the visor?  I tried some fabric cleaner, but it didn't help at all.  I used "goo gone"  once before on a chair but it left a spot so I don't want to risk that.

These guys are good and cater to Chevy and make specific designs.  Wanted a cover visor saying "Impala" and they offered back same color combo with a cool looking Impala animal logo

I've used these in my last 3 trucks. I even looked them up to post a link. Until I saw this.... Please note: If you have removed your warning labels, this product will not adhere to your visor's fabric. He has already removed the sticker. They may still work though.

If you do any of the stickers above or even just trying to clean the sticky stuff off. I suggest removing the visor from the truck and laying it on something flat. That's how I installed the stickers on mine. Only takes a few minutes and much easier to work on.

The original stickers are not just placed on with self stick adhesive, but are heat welded the label onto the fabric. Even if 100% removed there will always be a shadow where the heat "flattened" the polymer fabric fibers. So don't even bother trying to remove the original label, too much time and effort and the even if done will still require a cover label to hide the shadow, which looks just as bad, maybe worse, than the original label.

 

And shouldn't affect trade-in either. I've been using these on all vehicles traded since '00 and never even had a mention during trade-in.

I never knew these existed - I'm definitely interested. Does anyone have pictures? I'm interested in knowing how visible the sticker is or if it just blends in. It has to look better than the ugly warning label. 

 

Thanks

Here are the ones I have installed on my 2016. They are from the streamline design site above about 3 years ago. The size of the sticker for my 14 and 16 were the same. I've not seen a 19 to see it that has changed or not. This is the plain brushed metal version.

From Streamlinedesign.  My '16 black on grey (one line) used the long version and had the offiicial Silverado script logo.

 

My '19s black on grey (2 lines) shown in attached photos.

      My brother has an Escalade. The warranty has expired so he told his wife to go to the Valvoline quick lube he uses some times. They told her if her car was a 2020 and newer 6.2 engine they wouldn’t touch it. Hers is a 2019, so they did the oil change.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      The oil filter has NOTHING To do with oil leak. GM sources parts from 1,000's of vendors and as with anything mass produced, flaws are unavoidable.    Putting a larger oil filter will do nothing but satisfy emotions. The OEM filter is designed for the engine and perfectly capable of handling the demands on the engine. Oversize oil filter could result in reduced flow and overall lower oil pressure.

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
