Default LT 5 stick on remove???

Is there any way to remove the stick on LT-5 big label on the cup holder door that you see on so many z's. IF not, are there new doors or perfect used doors out there one can purchase?

I've had good luck with 3M Adhesive Remover (most part stores) and a bit of mono-filament fishing line - for exterior badges, etc. The solvent left to stand a bit softens the glue, and the fishing line is stretched between both hands and like a wire saw, sawing back and forth while pulling the line under the badge does the job.

Jason at Vette2Vette is who I would contact about a spare door, if need be.

Here's how I did it:
1. turn the door so it is open and cover the surrounding dash etc
with towels.
2. spray a small amount of WD40 on the crack between the
lid and the metal sticker. Let it sit for a few minutes. WD40 destroys
the glue bond yet does not effect paint or plastic.
3. using a plastic comb, insert a few teeth in the crack in a
sawing action. Get it to open just ever so much. You're not
ready to pop it off, just open it a bit to spray in more WD40.
(fishing line here as mentioned is a good idea too)
4. go to step 2 and repeat.
5. eventually you'll work your way down and the metal sticker
will peel back and away.
6. clean WD40 with Windex or equivalent.

I did this on mine to replace the metal sticker.
