Wife's New Car

[bendtdj]

Well, last December, we traded in a 2003 Chrysler Town & Country van with 112,000 miles on it for a 2000 Ford Ranger XLT Off Road with 77,000 miles on it for Doreen. We both decided that it was just too small and that if we needed to haul or tow anything, we would be using my 2002 Silverado. Two weeks ago we found Doreen a 2003 Toyota Highlander Limited with just 88,000 miles. This is a very clean vehicle, no signs of any rust on it. The ride is so much better and much more room. So far we get about 20 MPG combined. Much better that the 14 I get with the Chevy.

 

My question for all you folks is, how can a person remove the dealer's advertising decal on the tailgate? I figure that if they want me to advertise for them, they can pay me for it and they won't do that.

 

Thanks in advance,

A heat gun and fishing line ought to get it.

This is a sticker witht he dealer's name. It remindes me of the decales on the model I built as a kid. (And build with my kids.)

A heat gun and a plastic scraper or credit card then maybe some wd 40 or goo gone to get the remaining glue.

Goo Gone

Just get it warm to touch to soften glue " I have some mixing scrapers or paddles for Bondo that are plastic and soft that wont scratch the paint " It's not going to fall off with just a little heat so it's going to need some encouragement just work easy and you will get it.

I have made dealers write in the contract that there is to be no advertising on the vehicle. I made them put in the contract that I get $10 per day for advertising. They are real good at getting those stickers off if it will make or break a sale.
