Materials you will need:
1. A heat gun/blow dryer
2. A plastic scraper or credit card
3. WD-40 or rubbing alcohol
4. Microfiber cloth
Steps:
1. Preparation: Clean the rear car window with a glass cleaner and a microfiber cloth to remove any dirt or grime. This will ensure a better adhesion of the heat from the heat gun/blow dryer.
2. Heat it up: Use a heat gun or a blow dryer to heat the sticker and the surrounding area on the window. The heat helps loosen the adhesive of the sticker. Keep the heat source moving and avoid concentrating it in one spot for too long to prevent any damage to the window.
3. Scraping: Once the sticker is heated sufficiently, use a plastic scraper or an old credit card to gently scrape it off from the window. Be careful not to scratch the glass surface. Start from one corner of the sticker and move towards the other. Work slowly, removing as much of the sticker as possible.
4. Removal: If there are any remaining sticker residues on the window, use a cotton ball or microfiber cloth dampened with rubbing alcohol or WD-40. Gently rub the stubborn adhesive until it comes off.
5. Cleaning Up: Once the sticker is completely removed, clean the area thoroughly using a glass cleaner and a microfiber cloth to remove any residue.
6. Final Inspection: Check the car window for any damage or scratches. If you found any, it's best to consult with a professional for further assistance.
Additional Tips:
- Work in a shaded area to avoid direct sunlight, which can make the adhesive harder to remove.
- Be patient, as the process of removing the sticker might take some time.
- If you encounter stubborn adhesive, you may need to repeat steps 2 and 3 until it's completely removed.
- If you're worried about damaging the rear car window, you can take the vehicle to a professional detailing service.
