My son put a bumper sticker on the rear window of the softop...is there a safe way to get this off without damaging the window?

warm it up a little and peel it off best you can. Then use goo gone or similar product (some say WD40 works). Test it on a small area of the window to be safe.


And now you have to tell us what the offending bumper sticker said!....

I've also had good luck with brake cleaner.
Just get a corner started then spray at the adhesive as you peel it off.

Default sticker

Just warm the sticker up with a Hairdryer. When the sticker comes off it will be pretty gooey. You can then use some W-D-40 sprayed pretty heavy on a cotton type of rag as not to scratch the plastic. Rub lightly and keep adding more WD to the rag as needed.(Patience needed here) then clean off all residue with some windex.

Careful with the hair dryer but the WD-40 should get it cleaned up nice.

x3 on the hair dryer/wd-40. It also makes a great bug remover and good engine starter.

Hairdryer and WD40 worked like a charm, thanx for the great advice!!

Wasn't that the sticker was offensive (it was a USMC sticker), just the placement location (field of view) and the fact that it wasn't level, either...

Thanx again to all for the help!!
