Yes, I have better things to do, but it's bugged me for long enough.

 

What's the best way to remove some 12 year old welded on plastic stickers from the window?

 

Don't want a big sticky mess left behind and it's on the heated rear window lines so I have to be carefull with blades etc.

 

I was thinking of trying a hair dryer to help soften it up first...

 

Jez.

Hair dryer is the way to go .

 

------------------

What model though is the definitive question? I personally have a Bush Turbo with twin speed heat setting and a cool button on the handle with diffuser! Neerrrrrrrr!

Was round my mum and dads for a Barbie and decided to clean the Z after, decided to pull an 11 year sticker off which left a lovely mess on my window, my mum came running out with some surgical spirit (as ofted she did when i was a nipper) and it took all the gunk straight off. I assume meths or white spirit will do the same job.

White spirit is smelly and not very effective, tends to spread it around.

 

Try lighter fluid, its a fantastic degreaser and cleaner (not the butane stuff! the little tin used to fill yer Zippo )

 

Tim

acetone = nail varnish remover

Meths is usually good for that type of glue.

I had the same problem on mine. Just wait for a hot day, if we get any more. Have a go at it then and it should just fall off with no mess. mine did.

 

------------------

WD40 on a rag.

Or the universal sorts anything (apart from hammerite) petrol.

I wouldn't use Acetone!

 

It is essentially an industrial solvent and will take ur paint clean off. Also has a nasty habit of destroying plastic very quickly. And will continue to after a long period of time (even if you mop it straight away)!!

 

Falk, if you have got metal or plastic windows in your Zed, you are indeed a scary person

 

 

Metal windows let you get the speedholes closer together

I use petrol on the outside of my vans to get the stickers off. Might stink a bit on the inside but does the trick.

 

Make sure you have at least Third Party Nick and Burn Insurance first!!

Yep, Le Big Mac does it again! Spent about two hours this afternoon getting the shitey alarm installer stickers off my drivers side rear quarter window! What a bitch trying to peel stickers off that are about 10 years old with washing up liquid and hot water. Yeah, I peeled the stickers off but some was left behind and I scrubbed and scrubbed then got the hairdryer out...BINGO! ROFL

 

Passenger side stickers were off in a matter of seconds after heating them up, then the glue residue scrubbed off easily...job done and looks much nicer without them.
