The reason they are not removable is...liability exposure. It's screwy. First the automakers are compelled by legislation and regulation into installing airbags, and then they are left open to litigation when those airbags kill and maim people. You will not be allowed to buy sun visors without stickers. The only thing I can suggest is to buy labels to stick over the stickers. But if you do that and later on somebody gets hurt in some manner warned about on the stickers, I certainly hope you won't plan on suing Honda because they made the stickers too easy to cover up. -- Tegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |
