Removing dealer decals / stickers and front license plate bracket?

[Cubsfan24]

I have a big one on my rear back window and one on the bumper. Hair dryer, credit card, and isopropyl alcohol okay?

Drives me crazy that they do this. I forgot to tell them not to. They also have the front license plate bracket drilled in. Any idea how to remove?

That sucks I literally just texted my salesperson Thursday to remind them not to put the front plate on or any stickers.

I always tell every dealer that I can not take delivery with advertising stuck anywhere….and I won’t.

And I've always used a heat gun and cleaned the glue with what ever cleaner I had available

Hair dryer or a heat gun if you have one. Ones on glass you can use use a razor blade. For ones on paint since it hasn't been there long it shouldn't be hard to remove, just peel them off and you can use WD40 to remove the glue if there's any left behind.

Either WD-40 or 3M Adhesive Remover.

WD-40 is what I use!!

Dealer did that to me once with a fixed drilled in dealer name plate. Charged the dealer an advertising fee per month ($600). Only last two months and the dealer had the body shop fix their the holes that they put in and the spot where the plate was.

You are not going to be happy as the license plate bracket is drilled into the black top part of the lower grill assembly (2 holes) and then drilled into the painted part of the front between the lower and upper grill assembly (2 holes).

These four holes are 1/4" in diameter and the license plate bracket is held in by four plastic rivets.

When removed you can plug the lower holes with black plugs but the two holes on the painted part will be an eyesore.

Luckily on this forum it was pointed out how the dealers install the front license plate holder and I asked my dealer to not install it. Today I installed it with two screws in the bottom by drilling the two holes in the black top part of the lower grill assembly and using two pairs of velcro pads to hold the top part. If removal is ever necessary all I have to do is plug the bottom holes.

Not much of a worry for me, but, I will remove the rear window tag from the Spray in Bedliner.

Could you possibly take pics and post? I would like to see your idea played out so maybe I can steal it?

How about the stickers, in three languages, on the visors, both sides?

 

[SkeeterB]

Nope. All good info. And ugly as sin. Need something to keep the world balanced.

I'm glad I told the sells guy not to drill into my bumper
