Thanks for all the great tips. Came here to actually find out how to take stickers off household glass items. In this day and age, they could make it easier by using removable ones.
Super thorough, love the simple steps though. Lot of people talk about applying heat, wrapping the razor blade with tape for the hold, using isopropyl alcohol to finish off with, etc.... Your job was perfect and you just used glass cleaner, lint free wiper, and a razor as-is. 💯
Great video! It's kind of contradictory when you say to spray on the paper towel then soak the glass with the spray. No harm no foul! I need to take off a sticker so this does help!
Thanks for the video it was very detailed and to the point. Nevertheless like every other person I didn't follow instructions and used a butter knife with windex and wendy's napkins.
WTH.... lets watch this again :50 Do not spray on window so you may prevent over spray... Very important... Then skip to 1:15.... LMAO... Yep Last 5 sec.... Made this video so you won't call us to remove stickers...
we have a large promotion sticker across most of the back window of our car, it's old and baked on due to the South's heat I've tried window cleaner, a razor and even wd 40 it won't come off i used the razor for like an hour and it just cracked the sticker but barely anything came off. Please Help!
Today I removed a sticker that was applied on a military base, and it was as effin nasty. While this method was one of the few that I looked at, I decided to go with alcohol and a plastic razor blade. All the other ways this video said, I followed with microfiber. I could not see the commercial window spray that I have, breaking down that level of glue. It needed a solvent. A well dampened microfiber. Break the glue down with circular motions to soften it and then push out the residue with the blade. Then go back and keep working it down. It was medium easy, but it was quick and totally effective, with no glass damage.
Yes, you'll just want to make sure it's an amonia-free formula. Foaming glass cleaner helps the cleaner stay in place when sprayed onto the glass. Normal glass cleaner is more likely to run.
I removed the sticker without issue. I now have a outline of the sticker that I can't get off the tinted glass (rear window of Outback) any suggestions??
Am I the only one that never has a problem with a simple glass scraper? I just replaced my sticker. it's sunny that maybe helped but I scraped it right off very little residue. It was a NY sticker. I didn't even have to wipe it off with googone or anything. Just scraped off the little residue with the same glass scraper. I spent more time pressing the new sticker onto the glass than removing the old sticker
You'll want to use a solvent to remove the sticker without scraping. However, contact the manufacturer first to ensure the solvent won't damage the defrost strips.
Yes, the same techniques can be used for removing stickers on the inside of a vehicle. However, for vehicles that have window film applied to the inside of the glass, don't use a razor blade as you'll damage the film.
Depending on the location of the mounting plates, try soaking the base with an adhesive remover, such as Goo Gone, first. Do it several times over several hours. This should dissolve/soften some of the adhesive to make removal easier. Just be sure to contain the adhesive remover so it doesn't spill onto anything else.
i removed the glass sticker with a hair blower and a blade, what happend is that the residue is gone but if you look closely inside you will see the old mark of the sticker, how to fix this?
Aftermarket tint is almost always applied to the interior side of a window. Factory tint is typically built into the glass. So you shouldn't damage tint by using a scraper on the exterior of the glass.
You know, this is all well and good, but let's talk about registration stickers in states like NY, for example, where the reg sticker is all the way at the bottom of the windshield, where it meets the top of the dashboard and is on the driver's side so that the steering wheel offers further impediment. Contorting oneself enough to reach that area is problem enough.
The same steps will work for inside the vehicle. Just be sure to avoid glass where window film has been applied. Also avoid any heating elements or other accessories.
Don't use a razor blade. As Dan mentioned, you'll want to use a solvent- just double check with the manufacturer that this is safe to use on the defrost strips first.
