The only truck I bought that still had one on it, the boneheads put it on crooked. It had a "frame" type sticker on the outside the the dealership logo on the inside. The logo was not square with the frame. I thought about leaving it on just to show how stupid the dealership was, but I had an easy transaction with them, so off it came.

 

I love the look on the sales puke's face when I say "And I'm not taking it if I see one sticker, plate holder, or any other form of advertising on my vehicle... that includes any 'decals' like 4x4 or whatever... " cracks me up.

 

HAH, you make them take off the 4x4 sticker too, dang you are a hard sale I peeled off all stickers (including 4x4) as soon as I pulled in the driveway! Much cleaner!

 

I dont mind the plate frame cause I can just take that off easy. But I also refuse to take any vehicle if it has a dealer sticker on it.

 

rockyjsquirrel, using a blowdryer will take off the stickers on the visors? it almost seems as tho they're ironed on. peeling them off won't hurt the fabric?

 

I did the same....told them I didn't want the sticker...unless they want to pay me .25 a mile for advertising. The truck had just arrived so they never put it on.

 

Correct. I learned about it on this forum a few months ago. A hairdryer and a little patience will get them off very easily. Don't pull too hard, let the heat release the adhesive.

 

that's awesome to know! god i hate those things. just assumed i was stuck with them. tried to peal them off another vehicle and just made a mess of it. thanks for the tip!

 

When I bought my truck, it came from another dealer via dealer transfer and had their sticker on the tailgate. After peeling it off, the dealer I bought it from put one of theirs on it. I told them I wasn't accepting it if they didn't take that crap off right there, and they did.

 

notice when you buy the truck they are compliant to every wish but as soon as you need warranty work they bs you?

 

NOOOOO!!!!!! DO NOT USE RUBBING ALCOHOL!!!

That eats through the clearcoat. Trust me, I have learned from my mistakes in the past!!!

 

Did you take the Ford emblems off too or are you advertising for them . .

 

I would take the Ford emblems off if I could - for sure.

I did remove all stickers, license plate frames, etc as soon as I got it home.

The problem with the emblems is that they have holes underneath them - or mine would be long gone.

I did order some custom overlays with my the number and style from my MX bike to put over them as the next best thing however.

I also made this unfortunate discovery. Do not use rubbing alcohol!

 

best way i have found to de badge any vehicle is to use a heat gun and some fishing line (dental flos will work too) and it will take most of the goop off with the badge.... sometimes all the "goop"
