How to remove dealer sticker from rear window

Anyone got any tips on removing the dealers sticker from the rear window. It's extremely well stuck on and I don't want to start scraping at it incase I scratch the glass or damage the arial or heated window strips.
TIA

I've used razer blades before, just being very careful. It usually works pretty good. Then use something like goof-off, or if you lack another petrol product gas works too, to remove the gunk left over. Just take your time and keep it away from your paint and open flames!

Is the sticker on the inside?? If so, curse your dealer.

Dont scrape it off! You may not even be able to use solvent.

To remove it, apply heat from a heat gun or a hair blower. Once its hot, it will peel off easy. The film that might be left will come off easy with water and soap. If that doesn't work, use a bit of liquid wax.

Thanks restob - I'm going to get the hairdryer on the case this afternoon, sounds like it's worth a try, didn't want to scrape at it as it's actually stuck over the arial and heated window strips. It's common practice here in the UK for dealers to put their stickers inside the rear window and let me tell you, they are not small stickers either - I just think it spoils the look from the back. Free advertising I suppose.
