Title: Rear window sticker
Post by: Anonymous on December 15, 2003, 12:27

Hi guys/gals

Does anyone know how to get "The car in front is a Toyota" sticker off? I have put an extra club windscreen sticker on the Bama deflector, but I don't want to see the MrT one as well when looking in the rear-view mirror.
I did this some time ago but slacey's post has reminded me to ask the question.

The garage's own one peeled off easily but the Toyota one is a bastard to even lift an edge.

Cheers phil

I'll attack the sticker with a pair of pliers.

Get your missus to give it a good yank. It will come and you will have a smile on your face s:twisted: :twisted: s:twisted:

Try heating it with a hair dryer first this method works on decals fitted to motorbike fairings.

Best to use the orange based sticker remover spray; this will remove the lot without damaging. s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

Dave W and all you other guys

Thank god I didn't need to drag the missus into the garage last night s:!: :!: s:!: Dave's suggestion of using a hair dryer was spot on. Cheers. Once the sticker had been softened I was able to peel up a corner and it came off easily. A little bit of glass cleaner should remove the "sticky residue".

BTW
Other drivers don't need to be told that the car that has just sped past them is a Toyota (even some of the de-badged Roadsters). That's the other reason for removing the sticker.

Pics follow shortly.

One of the first things I always do when taking delivery of a new car is to remove their horrible stickers from the window.

They don't pay me to advertise their garage!
