I would like to remove some bumper stickers from my car's windows. What is the easiest and most efficient way to do it?|||On a warm day try peeling it off. With the crud that is left use WD40 and a single edge razor blade to remove the rest of the gunk.
I done this a bunch of times and it works nicely. Hopefully you don't have any on tinted windows. Doesn't matter if the tint is from the factory or not. I ran into the problem after removing the sticker the tinting was a different color and you could still make out the design if you looked hard enough. So my truck had a Calvin image going to the bathroom on a Dodge ram head faded into the tint. After a few years you can't see it anymore.
Good luck with the stickers and don't cut yourself.|||Go to the parts store and get a single edged razor blade scraper.|||Use a heat gun or a hair dryer, and peel them off.|||Have a bucket of water handy in case you spill something on the paint.. Make sure the paint is cool. Wet the paint beneath the sticker with dish washing liquid before you begin. spray the sticker with WD-40. Let it soak through to the adhesive, then spray again. Once you begin peeling at a corner of the sticker, spray the back side, wait a few minutes, then peel the rest off. Dissolve the remaining adhesice with WD-40, then wash with dish washing liquid( Dawn preferred), and rinse. After that, observe parking regulations.|||A single edge razor blade|||i used nail polish remover (with acetone) and a scraper. it worked well, and fairly easily.|||Finger nail polish remover.

How do I touchup paint my scratched bumper?
I own a 2001 Acura Cl and was recently rear ended. The paint on the bumper was chipped off pretty badly, down to the metal surface. What is the best and least expensive way to get my bumper looking new again without having to replace it? I greatly appreciate any feedback. Thanks.|||Gosh, I just dealt with this on the front bumper of my TL...
I accidentally lowered the garage door onto the bumber...put small scatches on it.
Good news, it can be repaired to look almost as good as new....and I'm not an expert at paint, either...there's hope! :) Here's what I did:
Bought touch-up paint pens from the online source (See below). You'll need the color code for your car. Buy both the base color pen, and a clear-coat paint pen.
I used a Q-Tip...pulled off most of the cotton swab first, leaving just a little on the stick.
Clean/dry the bumper %26amp; do the touch-up in a well-lit area %26amp; when the humidity is low.
While sitting on a low slung chair in front of the bumper's damaged area, apply some of the base color to the Q-Tip with very few strokes within the damaged area. Use a small, clean piece of fabric to immediately wipe clean any over-painting that might occur.
Don't try to layer the paint to the bumper's original thickness, this will result in a poor appearance...the goal is to simply smoothly coat the raw areas of the bumper with paint.
Following the product's instructions, allow adequate time to dry, and then apply the clear-coat.
BTW, the procedure I followed works best for small scratches. Large gouges %26amp; big patches will require direct application from the paint pen, or the use of a touch-up paint bottle. Also, there's a point where buying a new bumper cover %26amp; having the pros' do the job makes the most sense. I'm guessing you'll be looking at ~ $400 - $600 for a new, painted bumper cover as installed from a body shop. (BTW, I also guessed this price b/4 reading the above post...based upon a similar repair job I had done a while back).

Thanks!|||the bumper is very easy to replace all you will need is a 10mm and a 12mm socket and wrench open you trunk and pull back the carpet on both sides on the back side of the trunk you will see the bolts.. after that look under the rear of your car and you will see 5 or 6 plastic screws i thing for that you will need a flat head screw driver but the always stick so you should have a pair of vise grips to hold the topside of them that's about all
When is it safe to put the bumper pads back up on the crib?
My baby is almost 6 months old now. I've heard that you should keep the bumpers off until 1 year because of SIDS, but now she is moving around so much at night.
Two nights ago she was rolling in her sleep and her forehead hit the wooden side rail of the crib. Thankfully she's okay, but I'm scared this might happen again. She's so active - even when she's sleeping!
It has me wondering if it's okay to put the bumper on now?|||I wouldn't bother. They aren't running at full speed and hitting the bars. Rolling into the bars isn't going to hurt them at all. I was going to put them on after my son got about 8-9 mo but I didn't because my neighbors kid untied his and was using them like a rope (still tied at one end) to try and stand. I have also heard of some kids using them as a step (although they'd have to be pretty thick) to get up higher and try to make it out of the crib. I decided not to put them on for either of my kids. No regrets. It made it easier for us to play peekaboo and to get pictures of them asleep.|||i'd rather not put them on. im always scared that theyll get tangled up in them and not be able to breath. rather than bumper pads, i just had more of those long and round baby pillows and place them around the edge of the crib. my 2nd child is now 7 mos and things worked out well for both my kids|||no idea abt this but u can search regarding this google|||are you kiding i never took my daughters off.
i have never heard such a thing about bumper pads causing SIDS
but its up too you and what you think is best for you baby.|||Well I know there is always a risk . For evrything these days. i used a bumper pad for all 3 of my kids untill they learned how to crawl around the crib and grab things. then i took it out thinking they might rap themselves around it. But it's all really up to you . what you feel is ok and how you feel about things. Use your mother instincs . Thats what i do . Only you can really decided what you should or should not do with your baby when it comes to her/his safety and in life . just be carefull and safe at all times.|||never you are never suppose to use them in the first place it is a SIDS risk but if you want to use them now its fine cause she is old enough to know that she cant breathe and move it will be fine now but i never used them and my daughter never hurt her self on the bars good luck bye|||I used bumper pads with my first daughter, who is 3 now. I never had any problem until she could pull up. Then she would use the pads to stand on and try to get out of the crib.
If your child is 6 months old, I think you will be ok using them. The older he/she gets, the less the chance. And just think...in 6 more months, you won't have to worry about it at all!|||actually bumpers are never recommended to be in the crib regardless of age (same with pillows and blankets, in fact nothing but a fitted sheet and the baby is recommended)
Health Canada recommends in their "Crib Safety" fact sheet that bumper pads never be used. This position is supported by the Canadian Paediatric Society, the American Academy of Pediatrics and The Canadian Foundation for the Study of Infant Deaths. The rationale behind this statement is that bumper pads, and other products such as quilts, duvets, sheepskins, pillows, stuffed toys, and position maintaining devices, affect the flow of fresh oxygen around the infant and can also pose a smothering hazard if the child's face is in close contact with them. The American Academy of Pediatrics, in their position paper, hypothesis that certain infants may have a maldevelopment or delay in maturation in a part of their brainstem involved in ventilatory response, chemosensitivity and blood pressure responses. When these infants become compromised (physiologically) during sleep (perhaps from overheating or lack of oxygen as a result of being in contact with or too close to one of the above listed products, or a combination), they are not able to arouse themselves enough to prevent hypoxia and death. The re-breathing of air may in fact be a contributing factor.
Bumper pads were first introduced many years ago as a method of protecting infants from head entrapment in unsafe cribs where the slats were too far apart. Since 1986, cribs are manufactured with slat widths that are impossible to get an infant's head trapped in. Therefore, the bumper pads are no longer necessary. As well, many years ago when bumper pads were first used, infants were dying as a result of SIDS, but the research as to why this was happening was not as advanced as it is today, and researchers had not yet discovered the link between bumper pads and re-breathing or decreased air flow. Luckily, we have that information today from a vast body of scientific research, and it is very important that we convey this information to parents who question the recommendations.
Parents will also often comment that if they do not use bumper pads, their infant's hands, feet or legs will get stuck in the slats. This in fact can also happen with the use of bumper pads, as baby's can get their feet, legs etc. lodged in between the slats either above or below the level of the bumper pad. Although it is possible for the infant to get their hands, leg, etc. caught in between the slats, this event will not result in any serious injury. In fact, the infant will either dislodge the body part themselves, or will make a noise so that the parents can respond and help to remove the part. On the other hand, the risk with bumper pad use is much more serious and can in fact result in the death of the child.
It is also important for parents to be reassured that the risk of sustaining a bruise or injury to the head if the infant rolls into the side of the crib s next to non-existent. The force that would be required to cause such damage is not possible for an infant to produce.|||When the baby can roll over.|||then take them out again when she stands on them and boosts herself over the side onto her head! bumper pads sure are cute in the bed and make you look like the ultimate in safe mommy but why? I never have figured that one out. I doubt she is hitting hard enough to break the skin on her forehead.|||I would think that as soon as they can hold their head up on their own she should be fine. I had my sons bumper in his crib with he was 5 months and he did beautifully. He is a wiggler too.|||Don't bother with the bumpers. They're not safe. Anyway before you know it she will be pulling to stand in her crib and she'll use the bumper as a stepstool. It's not worth the risk of her falling out of the crib. I know you're worried about her rolling around and hitting her head on the crib rails, but babies don't move fast enough in their sleep to injure themselves that way. It's not like she's being forcibly pushed against the crib. Her natural reaction will be to back off if it hurts her in any way.|||i bought a breathable bumper at babies"r"us because my daughter would put her face in all the other ones, i love it she'll be 1 soon and its still on her crib.

It looks like there are bumper brackets but some of them might be broken, I'm not sure. What tools do I need? How do I go about this whole thing in general?
Thank you for your time, I appreciate it!|||you,ll need a metric socket and a wrench set,and some of the bolts i think loosen from the inside of the trunk,and the rest from the bottom,it will help to wash it off before you start on it,because all that loose dirt in under there will be falling in your eyes,other wise its not to bad of a job,but you,ll need help with it,when you unbolt it someone will have to keep it from dropping on you,and you,ll also need help putting it back up,get you a can of wd-40 also in case the bolts are a little rusty,it should take you a few hours to do this,good luck with it.|||most likly it will come with instructions

What is the panel that connects to the front bumper of cars underneath the body?
I own a 2003 Altima and my front end panel connected to the bumper has warped and came loose. Can it be replaced for fixed. If so how.|||it's called an "air dam".
It limits the flow of air to the engine compartment.
Usually held on by plastic plug-in fasteners. Can be refastened using nylon "zip-ties"
If it is made of plastic and warped, you may have to go to a dealer and buy a replacement.

How do you take off paint on a Urethane bumper?
I need to repaint my bumper, how do i take off paint on Urethane? I was thinking a really fine grit of sandpaper or paint stripper.|||DO NOT use paint stripper..... It can damage the plasics that most bumpers are made of.... WHY do you want to strip the paint off? If its not cracked then just sand it down to remove the shine only... It is not necessary to remove the paint to the plastic... If your doing this by hand wet sand it 1st with 600 grit sand paper..... Use a water bottle to keep the surface wet while you sand it.... Once the shine and even a bit of the clearcoat is removed then take 1000 grit wet sand paper and work the surface to a flat smooth finish. This 100 grit paper will remove sanding markes the 600 grit may have left behind......... The have your paint shop spray a primer sealer with a flexing agant as a base before whatever paint system your going to use......|||If the paint that is on your bumper is in good shape then you shouldn't need to remove it. Clean and prep it. Wet sand it with 400 grit sandpaper and paint over the old finish. Be sure to use a flex-agent to make the paint and clear flexible.
If you do need to remove the paint use a paint stripper for urethane parts. Klean-Strip makes a good one. It is not as strong as regular paint stripper but it won't hurt your bumper.

How should I repair the area underneath my front bumper?
Usually underneath the front bumper there is a dark, hard yet flexible piece of plastic like material that helps prevent damage to the underside of the car. Im not sure what this specific piece is called but mine has lost a few screws/bolts due to uneven roads causing it to hang down. What is the name of this part, how hard would it be to fix and how much?|||This panel has several names, some people refer to this as the lower valance panel , radiator deflector panel, and or lower front mud flap. Without seeing the panel and not knowing what you drive, this makes it hard to give a cost. If the panel is not ripped apart, using metric screws or bolts, the panel can be reattached. If the screw/bolt holes have become enlarge, fender washers (or metal or plastic jar cap covers with a hole punched in the center) can be used as a patch over the enlarged hole when reattaching.|||i need to kno about this also..becuz one of the screw(s) came off of my back bumper and it hangz...|||Its called a mud flap|||I've always heard it refered to as a Rock Valence or lower Radiator valence usually to protect the car's mechanicals from any damage while driving. If it is cracked, try using epoxy to reglue it back together. Otherwise, you should try to get the correct size nuts and blots to rehang the valence. I've also see it supported by 2 zip ties, but that was only because 2 of the 6 bolts were missing.

How much would it cost too replace the front bumper of a Honda Accord?

The bumper itself shouldn't cost $800 unless it's brand spankin new model. And if you were backing out of a parking spot I'm pretty sure the law will say that it was their fault for not yielding.

Colors vary, but just for a bumper, unless you're lucky at a junkyard, it's about $500 at a dealer.

I'd like to replace my car's bumper myself, because it seems as if it would cost less money.

If you've got some male friends that know a decent amount cars they can probably help you. Search pick a parts for the parts you need. I would just shop around and get estimates (they should be free).|||Depends on how hard you hit the guard-rail. The car could have frame damage or it could not have frame damage and you won't know until a body shop takes a look.

So maybe, and this is a very rough estimate, around $500 - IF there's no damage to the frame, if there is frame damage you can expect that number to jump up much higher.
When I was in an accident, my front bumper and engine hood were both ruined in the accident. I had no frame damage, but just to have a body shop install a new front bumper, bumper support bar, new engine hood, headlight, and color match the new bumper and hood I was quoted in the $2200-$2400 range by multiple shops. It's amazing how expensive body/paint repairs can be.|||Junk yards that have cars are your best bet but you may have to do a paint job to it in order to match it up. Dittos with the headlight. You can find an automotive repair book at any auto parts store, which means you can probably find it as a PDF for free if you look in the right places. This book will help you replace the bumper and the headlight step by step. I suggest finding the book first that way you will know what kind of a headache you may be in for.
Good luck

My bumper has a few pretty nasty scratches on it.I can't afford to get it sprayed.I was wondering if anybody has any tips to make it at least look better?I've been told I can get touch paint but is this going to look terrible if I use it?|||Wax and polish with orbital buffer.
That's really the only way...if they are fine/small scratches it will get rid of most.
Thick scratches it would help very little.
If it's black car they make special wax for black cars which I highly recommend.|||hmm i too have those scratches on my two month old fit and the paint looks horrible. i have people telling me its because i bought black.

How much would it cost to replace a bumper on a Honda Ridgeline?
I ran into a wood carport the other day in my Dad's truck, and totally ruined his bumper. We have car insurance, but even with that how much do you think it would cost? Would insurance go up, and by how much do you assume?
Also, the tail light is broken, how much should that cost?
I'm just trying to see how much money I should start earning to pay him back.
Thanks!|||Since it wasn't with another vehicle your insurance shouldn't go up. But that depends on your insurance company. To check prices for new parts try Partsgeek.com and AutoPartsWarehouse.com if you want used parts try your local salvage yard. Hope that helps!!!|||It's a little difficult without knowing more details about your dad's Ridgeline, like the year (models change from year to year, so the parts do too).
You can use your favorite search engine to find parts. However, since you don't know anything about cars, you probably can't get very far. For example, a bumper isn't just one piece. There's the outer piece, usually plastic these days; it's called the bumper cover. Underneath it are some steel parts (bumper reinforcement) and probably some hard foam.
Keep in mind that it's not just the cost of the parts (and body shops mark parts prices up); it's also the cost of the labor to remove the damaged parts and install the new ones.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was over a thousand dollars to replace a badly damaged bumper and tail light.
And yes, insurance does go up if you make a claim. It's impossible to predict how much.|||i am trying to find the estimate cost for the replacement of you bumper for Honda Ridgeline, however, i can't use this http://www.automd.com/repaircost/ since it lacks of the year or date it was made. well try to use that link for you to find the estimate price in replacing the bumper. hope that this helps you.|||Why would you come here and expect to get an accurate answer from strangers who might not have any real experience in repairing cars?
Only a body shop in your area can give you an accurate estimate as labor rates vary by region and damaged vehicles need to be seen in person to write an estimate. Not even a trained estimator, like myself, can write an estimate based on a description. Go to a local body shop and get a real estimate, they should give you one for free.
Anyone giving you a price here is just guessing.

How do you get a bumper sticker off?
I have a bumper sticker on my bumper but I don't want to just peel it off because I am worried about the paint. Do they just peel off, or is there some other way to get them off?|||E-Z off oven cleaner . spray it on let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes and it will peel right off . sounds crazy but it works wonders|||Don't worry stickers dont damage the paint. If you can just peel it off nothing will happen to the paint. If it is hard for you to peel it of just get a small razor blade and on the edge of the sticker try lifting the sticker off once you can put your fingers on the sticker peel it off slowly if the sticker rips just peel it again with the razor blade until you remove it completely. Be very careful though because if the blade slips you may damage the paint.|||Maybe the best thing for you is to use a thin piece of paper (or credit card) to peel up the edges then spray some WD-40 under the areas of the sticker that you have managed to get unstuck (this should work its way under the rest of the sticker).
Once you have got it off make sure you spray the area down with a water-hose to remove any excess WD-40 and/or adhesive from the sticker.
Hopefully this will make the job a little easier for you. |||A hair dryer can help warm up the adhesive on the sticker to help it release a bit better. There are also adhesive removers available that can accomplish this. Check at some auto parts stores and see. You can test the product on the underside of your plastic bumper in an out of sight location to see how it reacts to paint first.|||soak it in hot water or hot water on a rag and leaver it on there for afew minutes then peal it off.....then if it doesnt get all of it crub it off with the rag and hot water|||Use the hair dryer.

I really like this bumper sticker so what can I do? Is there a clear protector I can purchase?|||Yes - and its really cheap and comes in bulk.. Its called...packing tape. You can buy it from Wal-Mart, a drugstore or the post office.|||Sounds like it's not really made for/meant for the outdoors. Outdoor stickers are made of different materials and printed with different inks to prevent fading.|||Use BSU. It works well. By-the-way,,,,,BSU is 'Bumper Sticker Umbrella'.|||Just throw it away.

2a. Laminate it - then apply a tiny dot of adhesive on the corners and stick it. to remove use a shrp knife to cut away sticket and peel up adhesive.

The total (a couple years ago) was around $650.|||If you take it to a body shop and want it completely fixed it will run well over a $1,000...with a 15 yo car I suggest you just get things hammered out and get the headlight some how functionally fixed (not cosmetically, just so it is going to stay in one place and work)...if you ask for that type of minimum repair you may get someone to do it for a few hundred dollars.|||If you shop around, you can get the parts for about 150-200.. (about 100-150 for the bumper, about 50 for the light)..
Someone to paint it will be like 100-150, and to put it on will be another 100. I would do it for that price, and all my mechanics would do it prolly for a little more or a little less, but that is the median.
If you get it done in just one pace (say ashop,) theyll charge you more... the job total is going to be about 600 or 700.. Look for "car parts" on craigslist around your area, and get the bumper from them and the headlights.. Peple will deliver it to you..

All the best : )|||No it wont be legal to drive it.Either get it towed there or get the garage to pick it up.|||no|||i would say NO! why don't you ring the police station and ask.can you noy get someone to tow you that is legal.|||are things that bad it England that u are afraid to just drive to the body shop? here in America most just do it and if pulled over say im goin to body shop...follow me if u want.....the cop will say go on...|||Well, you know it very well, it is illegal. When a car is not road-worthy and you drive, it is you are breaking law. Honestly, tell me how can you take a risk to drive a car without bumpers, no headlights, no indicator lights, no number plate and yet coming to us to for an answer. Amazing,what do you think we are, or you just wanted to wind us up otherwise?|||CONTACT YOUR LOCAL DMV OFFICE, THEY WILL BE ABLE TO ANSWER ANY AND ALL OF YOUR QUESTIONS AND AT THE SAME TIME YOU WILL BE GETTING THE CORRECT ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION.|||it is illegal for the owner of the car to do this. Really, it is frowned on for body shops to do this. But sometimes, the car has to be transported and the car is still in pieces. I worked in a body shop and had to drive a '06 mercedes 50 miles to a dealer. Like i said, you shouldn't do it, but sometimes you got to do what you need to do.
How can I safely remove a magnetic bumper sticker that was superglued to my car?
Someone superglued a prank magnetic bumper sticker to my car. On the body. On the paint! Can I get it off without ruining the paint?|||Simple.
It would be better if i could do it for you.
Where you posting this question from.
1. Get a solvent base glue removable product.
2. Your could also try using turpentine or Zippo fluid first.
3. Get about a metre of fishing line. Those plastic translucent ones that people use for reel fishing.
Now.
1. Slowly pour the fluid starting from the top of the sticker edge fellow round the sides of it.
Try to pour more on the top of it as it will flow down the edges.
2. Leave it there for about 10-15 mins as you mention that its a MAGNATIC bumper sticker.
3. Use the fishing line now starting from ANY edge BEHIND the sticker and slowly move the line
in a up / down momentum.
4. Slowly and surly cut your way out !
5. Any residue left from the glue remove it with your existing product that you bought with.
6. Vote this as best answer as i took my time out replying. LOL|||There is one solution that might help but i cant guarantee check a paint store and try to find a solution called Oops and with something soft maybe a scraper with a cloth towel over it try and scrape it loose i used Oops to get about 500 plain whites stickers off my truck because some friends decided it would be funny, worked very well give it a shot|||use a auto safe goo gone and use floss or fishing line to pull off the sticker and use hot water and Mr Clean Magic Eraser i heard it works on cars to get off super glue. and a 12 gage shotgun would come handy next someone wants to play with your car i would whoop some ***.|||Goi has the right answer but the wrong fluid.
Use acetone.
go at it with the fishing line or just keep soaking it and trying to peel it off.|||Best way...with your credit card...your gonna have to pay...sorry!

How do you show more than one bumper sticker to your profile at a time?
I've seen other apps, like that Flair, where you can flip through all of their flair pieces... Can you get bumper sticker to do something to that effect? Or at least to display more than one sticker at a time?|||I haven't been able to, nor have I seen anyone else with more than one. However, you can add a tab to your profile with just bumper stickers. Or you could put in your boxes tab.
Is it illegal to put a magnetic bumper sticker on a police car?
I have a friend who's planning on putting a bumper sticker on a police car, it's not offensive and it's magnetic so won't damage the car, but is it illegal? I'm usually her voice of reason so if she's going to get in trouble for it I need to tell her that. What charges would she be looking at if it's illegal?|||Maybe breach of peace or something like that. Even if legal it is not advisable, as no doubt the police would not take kindly to that and might hold a grudge.|||It is illegal to put ANYTHING on ANY vehicle you don't own without the owner's permission. If I wanted to push the case, I could sue anyone placing an advertising flier on my car. After laughing at me, the judge may actually admit my case was legally sound.|||Tampering with a patrol car in my state is a felony. That means anything put on, taken out of, removed or added to or from patrol car is a violation. I wouldn't do it as it really isn't worth the consequences.|||no- but that doesnt meen if they catch you,they wont charge you with something..vehicle tampering...so i guess it could be made out to look illegal,but if you went to trial then i dont think you would be convicted|||Well it's legal for police to put tracking devices on YOUR car now:

Quote that if questioned about it.|||Technically speaking its your car (Publicly owned by tax payers) but Im sure they have some draconian law that will cut off your kahunas if you do it.|||Not her vehicle (ya I know she pays taxes, still not hers)it is the same as spray painting something on the car as far as the law in my state is concerned..|||Uh.....yeah. That would be "vandalism". Even if it doesn't do permanent damage.|||clean it really good and wear gloves|||put it om the cop duh......yea i wold do it

Is it possible to change the front bumper and driver side fender by yourself?
I found a new bumper and front side fender at a very cheap price. Since it was my fault i cant take it to the insurance, so would i be able to change it without taking to a shop. I didnt want to buy the parts and later find out that there is more to it than what it looks like. Is there a link where it shows how to change one? I have a nissan altima, 96.|||That's how you do it .............You will still get a check from the Ins. Co.
Don't tell them you are going to fix it yet, let them get an estiment from a shop for the repair.
They will cut you the check ,and you fix it yourself|||Sure you can.Keep some wd40 handy and work safe.|||Sure you can, take it slow and easy and don't be afraid to draw a little detail drawing so you'll remember where things go. Have a buddy help you, it will be a lot easier. Remember that if the headlight is in the fender you'll want to get the headlight re-aliened.|||I would bet it is.. maybe you should take it to a redneck.|||most fenders anymore are spot welded on so you will need a mig welder to put the new fender back on at least on the door pillar.|||CONSIDERING THE DAMAGE YOU DESCRIBE, YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO DO THE REPAIR YOURSELF. REASON BEING THE IMPACT MAY HAVE MOVED THE RADIATOR SUPPORT OR THE SUBSTRUCTURE WHERE YOU MOUNT THE FENDER DOWN THE SIDE, AND THEN THINGS DON'T LINE UP AND THE CAR HAS TO BE PUT ON A FRAME MACHINE.IF YOU HAVE NO BODY REPAIR EXPERIENCE THIS COULD BE A TOUGH JOB.
