Removing stickers from car windshield

[clamum]

What do you guys recommend to remove parking decals from the windshield of a car?

 

[Pepsi90919]

gasoline and a match

A new windshield. It doesn't come the hell off.

sledgehammer?

Take to a glass place,they will do it for like $20.

kind've going a long the same lines. I have some sticky residue left from my County sticker from last year on my windsheild and want to remove it. Any good way to do that?

 

[GremlinLFE]

Use rubbing alcohol or a some kind of cleaner. Saturate the area. Then apply a razor blade (by itself, not a shaving one) at an angle GENTLY. It'll come off, both the sticker and any residue.

This works with non-tinted, non-"special" glass and windows.

Get a hairdryer and heat it up, then a razor scraper. Hope it's no on the lines of the defroster on the rear windsheild

the mass incompetence around here amazes me

Razor blade, scrape it off.

Finish up with a solvent if necessary (Goo Gone will probably take it off).

As mentioned previously do not use a razor blade on the outside of your rear window, you'll kill your defrost circuits.

I work at the parking department at my school and that s what we recommend.

Oh yes, and thanks for your many contributions!

Ben's solution is a very good one.

Some people don't have hands.

Heat gun + razor blade. Just be careful around the back window where the rear defroster lines are present on the glass - you don't want to cut through them.


Edit: Ooops. Said the same thing as Zanix.

 

[Coquito]

I saturate stickers with paint thinner, peel them off with my fingers, then use goo gone/90%+ rubbing alcohol for the residue.

WD40 and a new razor blade.

And yet you contribute nothing but silly drivel.

I heard to use a solvent or to use a hair dryer so I was wondering what works better.... thanks for the suggestions!

 

[Modeps]

razor blade + lighter fluid (no i'm not kidding)

Instead of a solvent, you could purchase some "Goof Off" from Home Depot. This stuff is ideal at removing those stickers.

 

[Amused]

Goo Gone

that works great for me.

After you scrape it and if goo gone won't take off the adhesive try Lift-off #2
