    My newly purchased 24 OR Premium has these ugly yellow caution stickers on the rear door openings . Has anyone had any luck on easily removing these ? I picked at a corner of one and it seems like they’re stuck good . Maybe a hair dryer ?
    Apparently Toyota didn’t want these ugly stickers to be easy to remove .
    Thanks in advance.

    You can try goo gone but they don't bother me so I just left them in place.

    I have not tried to remove them, as my 5th gen does not have them.
    For 'bumper stickers", labels on glass jars, I spray them with a spray and wash type of solution. I have not used the solution on painted surfaces, so beware.
    I spray it on, go away, each time I pass by I spray the sticky label. It breaks the glue base down and the plastic labels comes off fairly easily.

    Nothing yet.
    Just removed those an hour ago. Got a fingernail under one corner, peeled back 1/4 inch then used rubbing alcohol on a paper towel to loosen enough to peel off in one piece. Used the paper towel to remove glue remnants.

    We used the stickers and paper towels in our barbie to start the charcoal....... Made RIBS, yum.

    And Yes the stickers are tuff and obnoxious...!

    I don't have that on my 2022. I'm curious. Can someone post a pic of these caution stickers if you get a chance? Thanks.

    May be wrong but I think any port installed options would get the yellow sticker. I saw a thread the other day referencing one with a different weight rating change by an added accessory. That poster may see this and pop that pic back up.

    With a little patience I got both stickers to come off in one piece with very little glue residue.
    Cleaned the residue off and then waxed the area . Looks perfect. Thanks to all who took the time to reply.

    I tested some on my peeling PPF without issues. I was going to use it to remove leftover adhesive residue when I remove it entirely.

    Heat gun to warm it and remove it, eraser wheel to remove any residue.

    Goo Gone shouldn't as it's just citrus oil but Goof Off is a solvent that absolutely will. Goo Gone will have the same effect as strip wash so if you use it on the exterior you'll need to wash well with something that cuts oil and reapply wax or ceramic after.

    I removed my passenger side sticker and it left plenty of glue because I was in a rush and did NOT use my heat gun. Several days later I very carefully tried removing the glue with nail polish remover (no luck), rubbing alcohol (no luck) and then Goo Gone with perfect results. Using a cotton rag helped pick-up the loosened glue. Still a PITA to get it all off but that worked with no harm at all to the paint. Thanks WhipperSnapper for the suggestion. Now I will try removing the sticker on the driver's side (after I heat it a little) knowing I can get the rest of the glue off without harming the finish.

    I have a little extra time today. I may go peel these off along with the dealership logos hidden in the door jams...

    Heat gun then eraser wheel should make quick work of these.

    I picked at the edge real carefully until the edge was up enough to grab and then real slow I pulled it off in one piece with very little glue left behind .

    It is unlawful to remove warning placards from a vehicle, plus it decreases the value. Proceed with caution.

    Unless I'm mistaken, it's the same as mattress tags and that only applies to manufacturers and resellers. The only things the end purchaser cannot remove without cause are the VIN plate and under-hood emissions sticker.

    Either way I have never in my life seen a vehicle devalued for removing stickers or badges.

    If that is removed you will void your warranty and if you vehicle gets inspected without those you will be arrested. :evil:

    Bro, you live in Texas. No need for a heat gun. Just wait until Thursday. It'll be over 100 degrees! If you leave it in the garage it'll be even hotter. The label may slide off on its own.
