AC Panel Revamp

Down here with the heat I would think they wouldn't last long. Been over 100 for 90 days in the past and currently heading there. I would expect them to slide the minute I touched one. Anyone tried this where it is insanely hot? Truck has to be hitting over 150 in the day time.

So far mine still look the same. It's been brutal here in Louisiana as far as the heat goes for the past few weeks. I adjust my temp and fan speeds all the time and they are still in place. I bought the ones that are Made in the USA off of eBay. There are cheaper options (not much cheaper) that probably peel off easily.

Here's the eBay link to the sellers page.

yes.. parked in the sun daily tx. 105 out 140plus inside and no problem with the stickers moving. and first thing you do is jump in and adjust the ac to max

I had a hard time getting a good picture last night. My camera kept blurring when I was trying to take a photo. I did a short video and then screen shot it.

that looks way better than mine. hmm got me wanting to pull mine off and clean up the paint.

Just curious, does window tint and a sun shade help at all down there, or does it not matter when you’re parked in the Texas sun all day long?
When I lived down in NC I noticed a 10-15° difference with a better sun shade than the original one I had and much deeper tint all the way around.

I've got tint and wouldn't own a car here without it.. you'll get a sun burn just stopped in the daily parking lot home from work lol. cermic all the way around because I'm told it's better. honestly can't tell a difference from my older non cermic car. but I do have the windshield done in the clear cermic, and I do think that helps. it's the only car I don't instantly reach for my sun glasses every time. Just most of the time..haha

when parked a sun shield on the front window wouldn't hurt. but either way, it's a green house. it's going to be crazy hot unless you can park in some shade. I don't have one in this truck.

finally cooling off some here thou.

I have used those stickers.
They work good as long as you remove as much of the old paint as possible in order to get the light to shine through.

On the last one I did, the wife's Buick.
I used some duct tape (black gorilla tape) to pull the old paint off.
it took a few tries and a few different strips of tape until I had the button nice and clean.

Asking an admittedly stupid question... when you say get got all the paint off, do you mean the surface that you stuck the sticker to was 100% that light green color that showed when the original button wore off?

100% or as close as possible.
I found if i left too much paint on there, it didn't stick well plus it was hard to find at night time.
