Is there an easy way to remove decals from the rear window without damaging the anti-fog wires on the glass?
My kids have been out of college for several years and each time I look in the rear view mirror I am reminded why I don't have any money! I wish to remove the decals without damaging the wires. Any suggestions?

Use a hairdryer to heat the decal, then its easy to peal off, then remove any traces of glue with solvent.

yep - hairdryer works a treat ;-))
I've just done the peeling bit, what solvent do you guys recommend to get the glue off?

Whatever works, acetone, MEK, metho, turps, shellite. It will depend on what adhesive has been used on the sticker for the fastest result.

Try things in this order:
Hot water and soap White spirit Paraffin/WD40 Celulose thinners/nail varnish remover Petrol Acetone Nylon pan scourer with any of the first three Course emery paper Angle grinder Flame thrower Small thermo-nuclear device Incantation
Goo Gone

Thanx for telling this guy in wich order. When you replied to me they were in random order and I tried the small nuclear device first! Lucky the battery was almost empty, or else it would have caused even more damage. I tried it in the garage of the WTC.
Stickers are gone though!

I would argue against the use of acetone which can disolve almost anything including possible the heating wire strips.

I have yet to see acetone dissolve metal that it comes into contact with.
There are plenty of things that acetone wont dissolve.

LOL - just read the above !! I'm leaning towards incantation, with perhaps a small sacrifice. I've seen tattoos come off easier than the sticker on my back window.

For extra-thick sticker goo, you need to use lots of it and scrub it in. Once the llayer of goo is dissolved, just wipe it off with paper towels.
