A more long-term solution would be to lobby the relevant authorities to just start putting the stickers on your license plate instead of on the windshield. That's what we do in the part of the USA where I live. It's much less annoying. You then just place the next year's sticker on top of the previous one (no need to ever remove them.) It works very well. | |

| Mar 18, 2015 at 4:46 | comment | added | Johnny | When I worked at a state inspection station in a state that pasted inspection stickers in the corner of the windshield, we just used the razor blades pictured above in a long handled scraper tool like this one. We never used any type of solvent, the scraper was fast and effective on its own -- and these were tamper resistant stickers designed not to peel off easily. | |

This usually has the resistive traces for the defogger on the inside surface. If you cut one of them with your razor blade, the defogger may not work anymore. | |
