Default Window Stickers

I have got two large 'vecta' immobiliser stickers on my rear side windows. They must have been on for about 10 years and are well and truly stuck. They are all damaged and heavy duty stickers.

Having a few problems getting them off!!
What would you rec to get them off bearing in mind I dont want to scratch the glass.

Thanks in advance

Leigh

use a steam cleaner if you have 1 .? or a hair dryer to heat them up and soften the glue on the back of them, take your and they will come off!

Try a product called Stickey Stuff remover, it disolves the glue and you can just gently scrape off the residue.

I forgot I had posted this.

I used the hair dryer, peeled off the sticker then used Windowlean wipes and it lifted the sticky residue right off, pretty potent stuff.

Thanks for all the tips, much appreciated although I went for the cheapest option
