i've just been lining my windshield with them like a decorative border.

just to clean things off, because i wasn't sure i could get the sticker in the same spot (very slanted windshield, makes it touch to reach in there without tiny tiny hands)

Why even bother with the goo gone? You're just going to stick a new one in the same place, aren't you?

yeah, i heard horror stories about how hard it is to get those stickers off, and then the first one i had to take off was simple. the razor blade just slipped it off the windshield. i could have reused it too, if i needed to.

just a touch of goo gone afterwards will get the (tiny) stubborn spots that might have stayed behind

here in ny they plaster big neon green squares on your windows when you park illegally during street cleaning. took me about 3 hours of scraping the first time i got one. then while driving with a half-destroyed sticker on the bronx river pkwy one morning, a kindly ny'er yelled to me at a stoplight "HEY DUMMY, SOAP AND WATER TAKES THAT RIGHT OFF" he was right, like water off a duck's back. who says northerners aren't helpful?

Is it really that big a deal? A razor blade (NOT a utility knife!) and about 2 minutes is all it takes. And the ones that they use now are only sticky around the outside edge, they are much easier than before. I have never had any trouble getting one of these off. In fact, I've even removed one without any damage at all to the sticker, and re-used it when I had to get a windshield replaced once.

Soaking it in goo off? Apart from the fact that your car will probably reek for months, this is just so unnecessary.

Hardware store. Razor blade. Done. Your mom should have taught you this is how you remove stickers from glass.

It's tough, no doubt about it.

I've had good luck using a razor-blade scraper, then rubbing off the residue with Ronsonol lighter fluid.
