Can somebody please tell me how to take a sticker off my back window? I don't have a heat gun, so that's not an option. Also, I don't wanna scratch the crap outta the window. Thanks!

Some soapy water and a fresh single-edged razor blade should be fine.

so just use the soapy water as a buffer from the blade?

I accidentally hit one of mine with a pressure washer yesterday and it flew right off. But it was an industrial washer.

Was that before or after the window broke? ;)

I second the razor idea. At least pick a warm day and let the truck sit in direct sunlight prior to attacking the sticker.

pressure washer is a good idea also then if not all the way off hit it with a razor blade. look for some stuff called goo gone and squirt it on there to get the glue off the window. should be very easy

try to find some stuff called "sticker-off". I don't remember who makes it, but they have sticker-on and sticker-off. Sticker-on makes it so you can slide the sticker around after you put it on to get it exactly where you want before it dries, and sticker-off makes it easy to peel stickers off and also makes it easier to get off all the sticky crap that usually gets left behind.

thanks for all the suggestions guys. this afternoon, i just sprayed in with a water/car soap mix and used a razor blade. came off real easy like cutting through butter. after i was done i just used the spray on the excess goo (wasn't much) and wiped it clean.
that sticker-off stuff sounds pretty cool for applying stickers tho

I don't have a heat gun, so that's not an option.
I don't have one either, but my wife's blow drier works fine, if a little slower than a real heat gun.

3M makes some stuff in a spray can. It's just called adhesive remover. I got it from autozone. I pulled off my old stickers and sprayed the glue that was left on, and it wiped off pretty easy.

when i removed my TRD decals, i took a pre-aproved credit card that i didnt care to have and cut an edge on it. worked great, all i needed was to get one side of the sticker off and the rest fallowed. i then used the 3M adhesive remover that i went to a paint store to get, and the stuff worked great. no scrates or any gunk left on my truck at all.

You dont have to use Sticker-On to move your stickers around before they dry. Windex or even water works fine too. You just have to squeege the liquid from under the sticker once its where you want it.

Go to Walmart and spend $20 on a heat gun...but everyone else's method works too.

I used my girlfriend's hairdryer. I'll let you use it if you promise not to tell her.
