2013Shelby Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 Hello, There are a number of ways to do this, but here's how I did it. Maybe helpful for someone else that doesn't like those labels. Picture 1 - warning label on visor Picture 2 - masked with Frog tape Picture 3 - rolled on paint (free sample of DutchBoy paint from Mendards - mine is Gargole Black to match Charcoal Black) Picture 4 - final result Picture 5 - back view of final result If you don't want to paint the labels, you can also order fabric labels. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy49 Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 Why not remove the label? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2010KonaBlueGT Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 Why not remove the label? LOL...I was thinkin' the same thing. Can't you heat it and pull it??? Phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2013Shelby Posted July 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 The label is "melted" into the fabric. Let me know how it goes trying to pull it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezareth Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 I'm thinking of trying a hair-dryer and peel approach for mine. If I can't get them off or it doesn't look right I'll just remove the sun visors entirely which is what I did on my Saleen. I can't recall the last time I used a sun visor, that is what Sunglasses are for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

05mustangman Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 The label is "melted" into the fabric. Let me know how it goes trying to pull it off. It's not really melted into the fabric itself I would say it's like ironed on. I removed the one in my 05 mustang and unless they changed how they put warning labels on, the hair dryer method works great! Just haven't gotten around to doing it in the Shelby yet. But yes it does appear to be melted into the fabric even on the 10's but still looks like it could be peeled off with some heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2010KonaBlueGT Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 but still looks like it could be peeled off with some heat. That's what I was thinkin' too. Personally, mine don't bother me but if they did/do, I'll try the heat and pull method. I think a heat gun might be too hot so I'll nab my wifes hair dryer/blower for a try.

Snoopy49 Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 Some collector 30 years from now is going to be really unhappy with the person who removed any of the tags or labels on these cars. If you are not able to remove the label without damage, I wonder if a piece of iron-on fabric would be better than paint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2013Shelby Posted July 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 For what its worth: Here's a link to a company that makes fabric labels to cover up the airbag warning label: http://www.sunvisorsolutions.com/ I ordered some, but really thought the paint worked better. Also, thought about taking off the visors, but with the 2013 you get the garage door opener built in. From various threads I read before starting this - the topic comes up fairly often w/ BMW, Lexus, Cadillac, etc. Most people have not been able to remove the labels with heat or chemicals without damaging the fabric. Understand that years ago the labels could be removed, but once they started to apply the labels with heat, most people weren't able to remove them from what I read. Anyway, replacement visors are available from a couple of sources with labels (i.e. Ford) or without labels (off-shore). Wish the labels wouldn't have bothered me, but you know how something can catch your attention.... Here are a couple of OEM makers of visors if anyone is interested: http://www.irvinautomotive.com/Visors.htm http://www.daimay.com/en/sunvisors.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is sure a poor excuse for a website. You would think that they would take the time to at least show some decent hi-res pictures of their products and installation instructions. Please post some pictures and your opinions on the fit and quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2013Shelby Posted July 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 FYI - here's a picture of the labels I had received. - Very good match for Charcoal Black fabric labels - Just peel and stick (picture of backside of package gives these simple instructions) - Adhesive already on back Might be an option for some that don't like the warning label.

Snoopy49 Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Does this mean that there are no vanity mirrors in the visors? How am I going to admire myself while cruising the boulevard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bergenfelter Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Does this mean that there are no vanity mirrors in the visors? How am I going to admire myself while cruising the boulevard? Yeah and how are you going to watch yourself texting while cruising too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy49 Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 I forgot about that, thanks for reminding me. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy49 Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Forget the mirrors, I want a set of these. 10.2' TFT/LCD Left & Right Black Sun Visor Monitor Now I watch "The Fast and the Furious" while I drive, it doesn't get any better than that.
