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?

Re: LT 5 stick on remove???
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.

Re: LT 5 stick on remove???
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.
