It sure was purdy when I had it put on. Goes on like tint but its on the outside. Years of the sun beating down on it. I haven't tried anything yet because I'm worried about messing up the window. I had one suggestion from a buddy to use magic markers to color it back in. Thats when I knew I should come here and ask.

Great googily moogily, how long has it been on there? I can only imaging soaking with soapy water and start at an edge with a razor blade. Not 100% on that though.

BTW, did you slap your friend's face, or give him $5 for the advise? :D
 






Sharp razor blade, low-wattage heat gun or hair dryer.
 






X2 on the heat gun. I got one form Harbor Freight last month on sale for $10 regularly $20. It is a dual wattage 630/1100.
 






Flags been there for 5 years I think. The pic in my sig shows what it was like less than 2 years ago. I'll check into the heat gun. Anybody know how much this window would run if I screw this up?
 












The glass will hold up to A LOT! get the heat gun, and go to home depot or lowes, and buy a tile scraper. it will be like 8 bucks, but it's an 8 inch wide razor instead of 1 inch. have a buddy hold the heat on it, and when it gets shiny, scrape it with the blade at a 45 degree angle to the window. it will come right off.......took the graphics off an entire bus before.....
 






They make special solutions for removing those- you can just spray it on, then peel the sticker off.

I would use a heat gun like mentioned before. It is on the outside, correct? I think it is, but if not, be careful about using a razor blade on the inside of the glass. Once you have the decal off, use GooGone or Desolve-It to remove the adhesive residue.

Pretty much no matter what you wont screw up your glass, just don't scratch it with the razor blade.
