Old stickers

The car came with 2 old, very ugly stickers.
I was able to take one out, but it also has a Harley davidson sticker that just wont peal off. How can I remove it without damaging the window? (rear)

PS. Im not sure if this is the right place, so rdirect me if im wrong.

Take a hair dryer, heat up the sticker and it'll come
right of. Or, use a razor blade . Either one will work
well

A little bit of penetrating oil and a razor blade should do the trick. Thats what I used to do the same thing, but for me, it was parking passes, lol. I had them on the inside of the rear window though

heat gun will work better than a hair dryer if you have access to one. Yove tried a razor blade?!?! if that wont take it off then i think you should buy my spare hatch from me! haha not really but a razor blade/heat gun combined shoudl do the trick

The razor blade kind of works but its like trying to eat soup with a fork... its just not getting the job done and its not very time efficient either.

see... the sticker has been there for so long that feels like part of the glass (besides a small relief) and it has turned rock solid.
