raka, I have never seen a sticker like that before, and I don't think I'd keep it for long on my car.

What exactly does this warning say? Is it something that gives you the idea that it's not to be removed? PM me if you'd like!

I agree that it's definitely a large ugly sticker which appears to have been affixed haphazardly (crooked). Like HEMEEE, I too wouldn't be keeping it on my car for long either. Maybe it's something similar to a mattress tag:

I've seen people driving around with those stickers, and a week or two later they end up taking them off. Just take it off, you'll be fine. ;)

Take it off with a razor blade, just slowly just try to peel it off and if it doesn't come off all the way then scrape the remains with a razor blade, come at the remains at an angle with the sharp edge to get under the mess. ;)

Here is what the sticker says:

*** WARNING: EJECTION SEAT ***

This vehicle is equiped with an Ejection Seat (Passenger Side).

Caution:

- Please be sure driver hands/ arms are clear when activating.

- If passenger diameter exceeds sunroof opening size, extensive post-ejection cleanup may be required

- If passenger mass exceeds 300lbs, passenger may not clear vehicle at speeds below 15mph

- Do not re-use ejection seat (order Mopar Replacement Part FU274-39948)

Before you remove that sticker, you may want to take a moment and reflect upon all the clerks, senators, congressmen, lawyers and legal assistants that spent billable chunks of their lifetime working, slaving, and golfing that sticker into existance with nothing more to thank them for their efforts than a big giant check from the taxpayers of California. You live in California, and with the cost of passing a bill through Sacramento, it stands to reason that the sticker on your car's window is perhaps the most expensive part on the car.

California, oh how I don't miss that hellhole.

This is a 'Prop 65' warning label that you are talking about.. it is installed at the dealership prior to sale of the car (which is probably why it is not on straight)
It is the brain-child of many years of legal issues in the great state of CA with the end result being every consumer needs to be made aware if the place you are shopping or the product you are buying contains any substance that may be dangerous to you.. you may have noticed that your car came with gas and oil in it.. bingo.. the state feels you need to be made aware that these items may cause cancer or otherwise harm you!

very much like the "DO NOT REMOVE" mattress labels.. I can't believe I see 2 year old cars on the road with these stickers still on and also not on straight!

pull it off and send it to Sen. Diane Feinstein (sp?) ((D, CA)) as she helped us not injure ourselves in this very dangerous world that we live in..

OK..my time on the soapbox is over..
