Sun Visor Sticker...

So yesterday while sitting in traffic I was bored...and realized what an eyesore those bright yellow stickers are on the sun visors so, since the ones in my Monte Carlo peeled right off without problem, I decided to do the same.

 

Bad idea.

 

Now I have the eyesore of the left over adhesive residue. No fingernail scratching seems to make a difference. I'm hesitant to use any sort of chemical for fear of making it worse. Any suggestions?

Don't use HEAT. I thought they would come off with heat so I tried the wifes iron. Melted the visors fabric. Now I owe the wife a new iron. I ended up just getting those strap on storage things with all the pockets etc. It covers the melted stickers and was a very functional solution. I will probably get another set should I get another truck.

When I used to detail houses I would use water based Goof Off on any carpet stains. I worked pretty well without hurting the carpet. I would use a wet rag to try to remove as much of it as possible after I got the stain out with the goof off. Never tried it in my truck though.... :banghead:

I have used GooBeGone in the past but can't find it anymore. It was awesome in removing residue from stickers. I have heard of people using rubbing alcohol but I don't know what it would do to fabric. One of my firend swears by WD-40 but I don't know about using that.

 

Good luck on getting those off and let us know what you used when you do. I am glad (not for you though :banghead: ) that I read this before I pulled mine off. They are beginning to ripple a little but I think I will just leave them on there.

I wish I would have seen this post a couple of weeks ago. I took the stickers off and was left with the nasty looking glue. I scrubbed with soap,water, and some kind of stain remover because of dirty hands getting on the visor. The glue isnt all off but the best luck I had was using an iron with a shirt over it to suck out the glue. I got most of it off but I prob spent a few hours cleaning them.

      If it has a stick I can have fun with it. When my wife first got her Acura years ago I used to tease her about it. I was only interested in muscle cars. They’re gone now. So once a month I drive the Acura. Every once in a while I’ll take it to Redline. But just normal driving on some twisty back roads usually does the trick.

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By contrabombarde · Posted

      I went through again with a test light and everything checked out.    I suppose it could be the MAF itself but I've tried 3 different sensors, 2 of which were in running vehicles previously (the one in this truck, and the one in the donor truck), as well as a new one I picked up from NAPA. I would just be surprised if all 3 were bad.   EDIT/UPDATE: I swapped in the MAP sensor that was originally with the 2010 PCM, that made the code for map sensor voltage high Go away, and the map sensor seems to read normal with key on engine off (14psi or so), but it still doesn't run and does the same thing as before.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By Atlas · Posted

      In addition to a cell or wifi connection, the infotainment needs to be enabled to download software updates. That's a toggle within the system settings.   But...if the truck was prevented from receiving updates in a past life, missing a bunch of updates may mean it won't go back and download all of those because they're not available or the system is too far out of date.   If a formal recall depends on a software update, the recall for that truck remains in an open status until it's applied. The dealer would need to apply the software update in that instance.   Most updates downloaded and applied via the infotainment aren't recalls/safety recalls, they're enhancements and usability fixes which aren't critical.

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      By Vu1can · Posted

      Recently I've been getting a message, "New Brake Pads Detected. Reset Brake Pad Life?", But I haven't had the pads replaced and the truck only has 28,000 miles. The Brake Pad Life shows Front 64% and Rear 79%. I select NO to resetting the brake pad life and the message goes away but comes back at the nest restart.   I stopped by the dealer and was told that it sounds like a software glitch that would require reprogramming. Even though I have the extended warranty, they tell me that reprogramming is not covered unless a module was actually bad and needed to be replaced. Simply reprogramming is not covered. So, they want $200.00 just to diagnose the problem. If it turns out no bad module, another charge on top of that to do the reprogramming. If the cause was an actual bad module, everything would be covered under the warranty.   Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem. Should this issue be covered under the warranty?   Thanks

      NHT is diesel only, correct.     The GVWRs for NHT on 3/4 ton bring them to the same numbers as many of the 2WD 1 tons.  A crew 4x4 standard 3/4 with NHT is 11,750lbs, a 1 ton same cab/box/4x4 is 12,100lbs.     Hubs and hub bearings are the same for 11.5" and 12" axles.  Housing, diff carrier and ring/pinion are larger for the 12".   All gas use the 11.5" axle, 3/4, 1 ton and 1 ton DRW.
