Default how to remove a sticker from the windshield?

it's an inspection sticker (that doesn't need to be there any more) on the outside of the windshield. Alcohol didn't do anything.

glass cleaner and a razer blade going at an angle. You have to be dumb to scratch the window glass btw. it's pretty safe.

Use the razor blade to scrape off most of it. If you have any residue left, spray some WD-40 onto a paper towel and wipe off.

Buy a brand new razor blade. The kind like this:

Just let it sit flat on the glass, don't apply a lot of down pressure, and just gently push the blade.

I would say its really hard to scratch glass with a razor if your not trying to. I removed tint from 5 windows including my back window on my accord with wd40 and a razor and didnt scratch one window. The thought never even crossed my mind. Though I feel bad for the sob who wonders why their rear defroster sucks *****.... used to take 15 mins to defog because I scatched the lines off heh, was a lease =P
