Sticker removal from rear window question

Hey does anyone know where to get one of those razor things that are specificly made to take stickers off windows? I had a lowe alpine sticker come apart on me, and left just the backing stuck to my window

I guess I could try a razor, but it would be nice to have one of these around incase I ever want to take off one of the 3203948 stickers on my rig.

You can pick those up at Lowes, Home Depot or even Walmart.

I always peel as much as I can then take some ppg wax and grease remover and just soak it with a rag and itll make the sticker and goo fall of the glass. Works tons better than goo-gone. I think it comes in quarts for $5-10 bucks.

I go through this every two years weight tax/safety inspection hear in Japan I normally use just the blade from a box cutter wrapping the edge I'll put my fingers on in duct tape then soak the area with windex or window cleaner this keeps the glue from resticking to the window for rear windows inside I use a hair dryer to slighty warm the sticker/decal/window film and try to peel it slowly rewarming it constantly for outside stuff same as above. Remember not to rush it
hope that helps

WD 40 will take the glue off as well.

Spray some on the offending glue, let it soak for a minute or so and then wipe it off.

Finish with window cleaner.

Hey Wolfen- How's the weather up there? Cool and windy here in Okinawa. JCI is a pain in the butt isn't it? What kind of truck do you have?
