the story is there are these rectangular stickers on my wing mirrors and up to now they were grand but for some reason they are really buggin me now and i need to get them off.

ive triedpeeling them off but they just chip. i cant get a scraper in at the angle i need to get them off.

Stickers on the wing mirrors?

on the glass or on the back of it?

Have you tried heating it with a hair dryer or hot water maybe (mind your hands!!), or using methelated (sp?) spirits?

get a stanley blade and break of the top of the blade (there should be grooves along the blade that are there so you can break of the top blunt part to get the blade sharp again) then just use the small peice you broke of to scrape the sticker off....

I do this for all the stickers on the cars ive brought in... works great on the writing they put on the windscreen too...

If its on the glass, theres one easy solution and thats lighter fluid, you know the stuff you put in zippos and the like. Squirt some over the sticker and let it soak in, afetr a minute the sticker will just easily come away. The fluid dissolves all the glue on the sticker, it works...........
