For Ages I've had a dealer sticker on the back window, I've tried to peel it off but to no avail.
I was told a razor blade helps but i don't wan't to damage the tint or the window. I thought about bug and tar remover but it says not to use on glass little help.

Is the sticker on the inside?
If its the outside carefully use a blade to get an edge up then peel off and turps on a rag to get the sticky off,done heaps of them that way over the years. If its on the inside the dealer was an idiot because that will ruin the tint. |

Is it just the sticky residue and some of the sticker remaining? I've found wax and grease remover works well in removing that.

If it’s on the inside mate I don’t really know what to say that wouldn’t fault your tints.
Thought there’s a product called Double D. It’s like eucalyptus oil or something. It was advised to me when I got slapped with a massive don’t park here sticker at the shops. Absolute killer to get off. Tried everything and one guy saw me struggling and advised me that and it worked a treat!

As someone has already said razor blade, but use some windex with it to wet up the sticker (will stop you from scratching the glass).
If its on the inside then its all over.

If it's on the inside under the tint then you don't have a lot of options. If you have a steady hand and can do it neatly you could try cutting around the sticker and through the tint and then apply another section of matching tint to the area (bodgy) or go back to the dealer and ask to have the window retinted (at their expense) and tell them to remove the dealer sticker first
 or buy yourself a " No Fat Chicks " or some other stylish sticker to cover the existing dealer sticker from the outside  I still find it amazing that some halfwit would apply tint over the top of a dealer sticker in the first place Handy hint - don't use eucalyptus oil or any other solvent near the window tint or it's history :( |

Just shifted a sun damaged one the other day, Size 22 scalpel blade and WD 40 ( via small "soaked "paper towel ). One thing to watch for is that the flakes of the sticker can still be as sticky as all hell if they land on your duco. I placed tissues in the boot sill area to catch any of that rubbish. Steve |

i have seen tint put on over the top of stickers before. stupid idea.
if you have not long bought the car from the dealer whos sticker it is and they had the tint fitted i would be going back and having a big winge. try and get the back window retinted. i wouldn`t try and cut and patch the tint, it will end up looking crap. .

Go to tinta-a-car (or similar). Get them to remove the sticker. If they can't strip the window and re-tint it. I'd be very surprised if the dealer would give a rats.

Put a sticker over it that dis-respects the Holden brand. It wont be long before some GMH fanboi smashes the window and then insurance, new window, tint and no sticker! Bam! In seriousness, you haven't mentioned if it is under any tint or not as of yet.

Sticker removing can be a pain in the butt and a lot of pain for the thumb.
