Iron a cloth until its pretty hot, then put it on the other side of the sticker
Should peel off easy after that

Use any car window cleaner (I used Meg's NXT), spray it on a cheap kenco microfibre cloth and wipe at it. I had hard dried gum from the doublesided tape used on the e-tag, and this method took that off.
blow dryer to warm it up and eucalyptus oil yo!

spray it over with windex or soemthing, until it gets abit wet, use a razor and run it through a corner. it should come off easily and then use a cloth to wipe the excess water.

eucalyptus oil is the ultimate for removing sticky residue even when dried up

And once u get it off, fold in a corner of your next rego sticker so you wont have the same problem next time =]

:thumbsup: That and stick the rego sticker on your forearm first, so that it is less sticky when you put it on the windscreen.

iv always used meth and a razor blade for taking stickers of glass etc, never had any prob,
unless of course if the window is tinted then u might wreck the tint with a blade.

Don't worry, it's not sticky enough to rip off your fur. :p Just close your eyes and imagine that you are having a bikini wax.

i believe its got plastic layer and its thin altogether with the special glue water takes it right out.
Firstly, in my understanding tinting the front wind screen is illegal coz that will reduce your vision. (e.g. at night time if there is a car coming in opposite direction w/o switching its light on, u won't be able to see it clearly)
secondly, use the hair dryer to warm those bits and pieces and then i think even u use the finger nails can tear them off. (talking from experience)
Hope this help.
