    Warm soapy water and some elbow grease I think.

    Use a blade to score the sticker first then apply some sort of soapy fluid.

    One of those yellow and green scrubbing pot sponges should help too.

    Toothpaste, trust me.

    Nail polish remover is great at removing the glue once you get the sticker off with a stanley blade.

    Another sticker tip

    Buy a car from a dealer that has those transparent stickers stuck to the window? Impossible to remove cleanly?

    Use a hair dryer! it softens the glue and allows you to remove the sticker easily!

    hey even where you by any chance a tad bit nasty to the clamper?

    When I used to tint windows I used fairy liquid + water with a stanley blade to clean the glue off, one scrape is all you need.

    *Be careful if you have a VW because the glass is softer then normal and may scratch with a stanley*

    For your back window, you do not want to damage the heating elements so use a brillopad, fairy lquid + water.

    Isn't it illegal for them to stick those stickers on either of the front windows as it would hinder your ability to drive safely? I heard of a court case recently where a company was sued for sticking a sticker on the drivers door window....did anybody else hear about it?

    How would using a brillopad protect your heater element :eek:

    Also, if you do use washing up liquid, make sure you rinse it off thoroughly - it's full of salt.

    WD-40 will soften the adhesive. Give it time to soak in. Careful scraping it off - you don't want to score/scratch the glass.

    The heating element is *inside* the glass.

    Not your ornery onager
