Registration sticker issues

[esp22]

Hey, just wondering how to get the the leftover residue from the registration stickers that is left on the windscreen..anyway to get it off because it is preventing new ones from sticking properly?Thanks

windex is your friend

I usually park the car in the shade, leave it for a hour or so. Then get a wet cloth and wedge it between the window and the dash (soaking the sticker pretty much) that should help, however peeling the sticker back after this still leaves a sticky surface. To remove that sticky residue I use some Prepsol (or thinners or meth) rub that on and it comes off no worries at all. May have to repeat because, although the Prepsol removes the sticky bond (between window and glass), there is still a swirl of glue left. Just get another clean part of the cloth and apply more Prepsol. I find Prepsol works best and I had a tin handy in the shed anyways!

Try it and see how you go.

I wasn't sure about that, cause I heard somewhere on news about it, but I didn't know when it came into effect. Was it January 2010 when you could take it off?
I still need to remove mine. At least it beats the pain of removing and applying a new one every 6month or yearly and it cleans up the window not having the sticker on the bottom

...or if you live in Queensland, due to a bad batch of 'adhesive' they should peel off themselves, after a few months

Mine actually changed colour from the purple to the next colour brown all by itself in the sun...it was great!!

They're meant to be resending those out aren't they??? I can't see mine staying on for another 8 months!!!

Replaced mine yesterday. Windex and alot of elbow grease. Took me about 20mins to get all the sticky off.
