Le Mans Classic Old Parade Laps Sticker Removal Help

[RGG]

My 2023 Club Vert and Parade Laps Stickers are still on the inner windscreen.

I've just tried to remove one of them before applying the 2025 ones and -

The glue originally used is unbelievably strong.
As well as the wavy line serrations

It's the glue that's the problem.

Is anyone in this position now we are preparing and come up with a good solution.

I'm thinking Acetone but need some good ideas to try.

Thanks

WD40.

Gentle heat from a hairdryer to remove them then sticky stuff remover to get rid of the residue

I find the razor blade type scraper to be good on any windscreen stickers.
As mentioned, WD40, or maybe white spirit/thinners may soften things up and help ( or get messy).
Be very careful with any kind of heat, I once had a windscreen crack when hot ( not boiling) water was spilled on to it.

Wd40 applied to kitchen roll and rubbed over area, then plenty to get off resultant sticky mess.

Use acetone - good for Panorama parking and other parking tickets inside windscreen

Plus used just before LM this year for residue from 100 anniversary sticker on paintwork (only a little bit down one edge)

Recommendations prove once again that WD40 is more a solvent than a lubricant...
Like any cleaning, having the correct solvent is key to success: brake cleaner is almost universal where water isn't, keep a can under the sink, couple of quid, no need for the £10+ cans of 'sticky-stuff remover' rip-offs, because it's basically the same stuff.

Stick the sticker onto a clear plastic freezer bag. Then use blue tack to hold the bag to windscreen, or jam it into the gap between windscreen and dashboard facia thingy and pray that your standalone garmin will prop it up
Tired and tested method (ok I only used it one this year at BSJ) but it seems to work as I was scared xxxx-less that I’d never got the bloody thing off the inside of the screen
Just to be posh, the Lakeland plastic size 4 bag worked a treat

Just remove after the event... I had something similar with an Epinettes campsite sticker a few years ago - although it did wash off with soap and water and a fair amount of elbow grease. I haven't made that mistake again!! Sticker comes off quite soon after the event now, which completely avoids this problem.

My sticker is still on since 2022!! It'll be fun tomorrow getting it off but I left it on as a badge of honour/excuse to bore friends with "when I was in France once....". Hopefully it'll be a little easier than removing a full car of stickers that I've done in the past

I've never seen one before, no one has…..but I'm guessing it's a white hole.

WD40 worked well for me the other day. The ext post though will be asking how to get WD40 off the windscreen!

@MrC986 The 2022 one isn't as bad as the 2023 one. I tried to peel the 2023 off the window and the picture was still on the window even when the backside was peeled off. Hard to describe. But it is a pain. I save all the stickers as a souvenir. But that didn't worked with the 2023.

White spirit and an old credit card (or equivalent). Work gently from one corner.
After the sticker is off there will be a gloopy mess on the glass.
Clean the mess away with methylated spirit or isopropyl alcohol.
Or vodka.
