Removing a decal

Put the new decal over it

Brake fluid didn't faze it. When the new sticker shows up, I'm just going to put it over the old one and be done!

Good call. Of brake cleaner didn't take it off, I agree with Greg. It must be kiln fired...

Very little pressure required. It's a big spinning rubber eraser. No need to press hard. Works better than heat or any chemical I tried. And I have lots of chemicals. I lost paint on one door trying the chemical approach. I also lost paint using the heat approach. And heating stickers also leaves goo that even Goo Gone/Goof Off/etc won't dent. With the eraser - comes right off.

>Goof Off from any big box store--cleans up almost anything...
Almost is right. Anything - not so much.

I guess they've improved those erasers. Last time I used one was at least 20 years ago & it required pretty good elbow grease to remove pinstripes down to bare paint.

I won't use Goof Off anymore. It can be VERY aggressive. I've had it damage plastic trim. It's listed as being good for removing dried latex paint. I tried it for that and it partially melted a window frame. Now it's naphtha for me...

Make a copy to place over old. Don't risk heating glass or impacting with power tools
Eventually it will break. I would try to contact a pro restorer. They will be happy to
Help,I,m sure.
I would imagine that "decal" is baked on and as close to part of that glass as it can get.
Just sayin

I have a die cut decal on the way. It will fit right over it.

positioning is key here
.020 off and it will look like poop.
I use clear transfer tape and position first
hinge it back away from the work area
remove backing and carefully squeegee out
