Start from a top corner and gently peel downwards and diagonally.

Or start from a bottom corner and peel upwards and diagonally.

When you eventually get down to me and I've put upthe security lights I'll give you a hand mate.

Or what's more likely is we'll play GT4 and neither the lights or the stickers will get done

I use a kettle first, not quite boiling hot, pour over sticker then start to peel then pur again and repeat, works a treat.
