If there are any stickers you you'll have to peel off to get the cooler off, use a little zippo fuel (hexane) to release the sticker. Just drip a little around the edges as you peel. When the hexane evaporates, the sticker will stick like new.

Ahaha, I need to pay closer attention to the dates on posts. Dunno how I came across this old thread.

But seriously. Hexane. It's the real deal. Check it out.

Yeah but the hexane tip (assuming it works?) is a real helpful tip for anyone who runs across a similar problem. I might use it on my xbox...
