How to remove a dealer sticker?

I have a dealer sticker in the rear window that I want to remove.

I've tried to pick it off but it just chips off in very little pieces. Any ideas on how to best remove it?

Cheers.

(never had a problem with the last dealer sticker - it just peeled off in one go)

I used a bit of white spirit on cloth to get the sticky shit off.

Hairdryer on an extension lead. Gently heat the sticker so that the glue goes soft, then it peels off in one go.

All part of the service my friend, all part of the service.

Oh, and I've moved this to the Technical Section because it obviously requires a very high degree of technical knowledge and so should be treated accordingly

Perhaps someone's wife could come along and recommend the correct hairdryer for this application..

The angle of the neck looks like a good bet on this one.

I've been wondering where to get one of those. My Crayola box didn't have one. I'll bet I'd find them at a store that sells dehydrated water, though.

If you are going to use tools to remove the sticker, be VERY CAREFUL around the elements in the rear window.
