What's the best method to get a 2-year sticker off my back window?

It's the ol' college logo and it's time to be replaced. However, it is being much more stubborn than I thought it would.

I've tried using a razor blade, but it is only coming off in very small pieces.

Is there a tried-and-true method for getting these damn things off?

Soak it with Goof-Off. Then use a razor. Then clean up with more goof-off.

im not sure about the plastic part of the sticker, but if its problem with the "sticky" glue part that's left over, WD-40 works very well :)

are those safe for tints ?
Only if you are going to remove the tint :p

Goof-off will remove just about anything, including paint. (but not car paint. only house paint) It is GREAT on stickers. I used it at Home Depot to remove 3+ year old stickers from enamel painted beams all the time.

$0 deductable and a rock? j/k....Is the detail on the outside or inside of the glass?

If on the outside, goof off or even mineral spirits etc will work. watch out for plastic trim and rubber seals though.

Goo-Gone is a safer compound that works good too.

And I'm glad it wasn't some "Type-R" or "Corolla Racing" decal. :p

Of course not....I reserve those stickers for my side windows. :)
