sticker removal, inside windshield...

I bought my coupe from Grubbs Infiniti in Texas and live in California. Anyway, the Texas state inspection sticker is stuck on the lower left of my windshield. I removed it but a large amount of the adhesive was left on. What would you recommend me using to get the remainder off? Razor + WD40?? Thanks!!

I second the isopropanol suggestion. It should take it off no problem!

It's good for many things, removes tree sap like you wouldn't believe! (the 91% works best!)

Sorry guys some sticker adhesives just laugh at alcohol. If alcohol doesn't do it then use some paint thinner. Mineral spirits and Charcoal lighter fluid is the same stuff. Other than the stink you won't hurt anything.

Goo gone, laquer thinner, nail polish remover and pure Acetone all contain acetone derivatives. Stay away from these as they can do some serious damage to plastic.

Re: sticker removal, inside windshield...

When I was in Texas, a razorblade was my preferred method of removing those things. That, and some patience.

why I posted this info is that there is a plastic A pillar and a plastic dash within inches of the area in which you need to remove the goop from. if any of the solvent was to drip or brush up against the plastic you run the risk of doing some major damage to the plastic
