Removing old stickers from inside windows

I have a couple of old stickers in the rear quarter glasses of my car that I want to remove. The glue on them seems to be very tenacious and I don't want to use a razorblade or knife the scrape them off as they are over the aerial wires which also appear to be stuck to the glass. Any ideas as to do this without damage? 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

Tim if you can peel the stickers off best you can - if it leaves any glue and sticky residue this can best be removed by usind some meths or white spirit on a rag - this should help disolve the glue - I have regularly used this method to remove glue from those tough sticky pads used for number plates.

Try WD40......it pretty good at removing stickers without causing any harm - as long as you don't get it on the interior.

Have you noticed (like me!) that when that picture shrinks down you get a much better idea of how cold it was that day? Bow down

Stickers and glue successfully removed using the hairdryer method. Use enough heat and the glue comes off with the plastic sticker. Aerials in the side glasses are fine too.

I also made an interesting discovery.................. As it has been p***ing down with rain here since lunch time I thought I would reverse the car up to the open up and over garage door and run the electric extension lead into the open tailgate and found my Sport will actually fit in my garage! Ok so it's a close thing getting it through the door but with the wing mirrors folded it will go with about 2" to spare on each side and about 3" to spare above with the suspension on access mode. Once inside the garage gets wider so I can fully open the doors on both sides. It's not something I would want to do everyday as 2" is not much room to play with if you don't get it 100% right but it is useful to know that I could probably drive it in and reverse back out easily.
Now..................... what to do with all the junk in the garage that has accumulated over 4 years of owning cars that won't fit in it? I have an Ivor Williams P65 trailer, 2 wheelie bins, 2 lawn mowers 4 windsurfers, 6 masts, 12 sails, 6 booms, garden tools, more car care products than Halfords, 4 Grizzly Claw tyres for the Defender, a heap of used but might be useful spares for the Def and a mountain of stuff that I have hoarded over the years incase it might be useful, to get rid off! Oh and now I'll have to get the door remote controller fixed as well so I don't have to get out and get wet opening the door. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
