Mine pulled right off with no issues...I cleaned the residue up with a little WD-40.

If yours are stubborn try using a little heat from a hair dryer or heat gun to loosen them up.

I used a heat gun and then removed the residue with goo gone.

I went the opposite of the heat gun for all but the first. After applying heat, there was a ton of glue/gunk left behind, which came off with laborious scrubbing+goof off. All the others were peeled off first thing in the morning in the garage with minimal goo left behind. Just go slow. Nice coat of wax afterwards, and that's all she wrote. Only other thing I'd say is do it sooner than later. Old stickers are more stubborn, and tear/break readily. *so that's my experience with the sticker excision mod

The key word is "little".
Just warm it up...a little.
