    my 2 cents. wax the whole truck. Looks to me like the paint under the stickers is a little more hydrophobic than the rest of the truck. A waxing should even it all out.

    That's a horrible idea. What time?
    I'd give goo gone or a bug and tar remover a try. I had a similar issue and that resolved it.

    There may still be some residue there. There is also some paint discoloration since your truck is now 2+ years old and the part under the sticker wasn't exposed to the sun.

    I like that idea. I did the same Meso gearshift mod, putting a USB plug in the original hole.

    I think now I will use your idea and put the original button back for "warranty" purposes.

    I need to research your link to the Y-cable and harness!

    thank you for making me think again!

    The most effective way to do it, IMO, is to use a hair dryer to loosed the adhesive left over and use a plastic shim to gently scrape off as much as you can. Then follow up with some GooGone Automatic(must be automatic blend or else you might damage the paint). The rest will require some elbow grease. You can’t tell my stickers were ever there. 36BA1706-5208-44D7-B9BD-404A843CC5F7.jpg

    An interesting development. In the voicemail from Softopper yesterday the woman said I can send them an email, which I did. I specified in the email that I won't authorize them to charge the "remaining balance" to my card, and ask that they honor the price they set on their website and in the confirmation emails. I also did not imply that they had the option to cancel the order. 20 minutes after the email they called me but didn't leave a voicemail.

    I have the same issue but not quite as bad and only on one side of my bed. Not sure if its just ghosting or maybe adhesive etching? Doesn't seem to be any actual residue on there and I even used 3m adhesive remover which is some crazy stuff. I can only see the outline in the right lighting at an angle but I'm thinking of trying a cutting compound or something to see if I can get it to go away.

    This is the same energy as the people who say “I guess it’s free then!” when the cashier can’t get an item to scan. Except you’re being serious...

    You thought they’d just say “oh you got us you scoundrel!” and give you free product? IMO you knew full-well that the $0 price couldn’t be right, and you tried to take advantage.

    *EDIT* For the sake of clarity, my comment doesn't stand in defense of the company (corporations = bad, I get it). I just don't agree with trying to capitalize on someone's mistake.

    Pouring one out to the company who's missing out on $759.00 after making $140 million in revenue last year. You can carry your water for corporations elsewhere. The only thing I'm taking advantage of is a fantastic deal that the company who offered it is trying to back out of.
