Removing Decals

I like everything about the look of my '16 Ruby Red Lariat, except the 4X4 decals on the rear quarter. Has anyone removed them with a hair dryer, or a low output heat gun?

yes, they come off very easy. I just did it in a hot day, no heat gun or hair drier !

Very easy removal, just take your time and they peel right off. Removed mine and replaced with customs.

Either a Hot day or a Heat Gun will be your friend.

My truck is silver and was built over a year ago. I'm hesitant to remove the 4x4 decals due to fading. Has anyone experienced a difference in the surrounding paint after removing them? How about removing the warning stickers on the sun visors?

After you peel off the decals, you can use rubbing alcohol to clean the adhesive residue left over. If it is too tough for the alcohol, then Goof Off works great.

I removed the 4x4 decals as soon as I got home. Heat gun and take your time its an easy process. I didnt try and remove anything from the sun visors though.

Be careful with goof off it could remove the clear coat and or paint under it. If there is residue use a microfiber cloth and wd40. The wash and apply some wax
