Lats time I acquired a car I said not to stick a label on. They did. I refused to take delivery until they removed it. They did in about 10 seconds. No idea how. Is it worth asking the dealer to remove it?

LOL nice

A lot depends on the type of sticker. If it's clear plastic (like a licence disc holder) it will peal off easily if you just lift one edge with a finger nail.

If it's a paper label which has been glued on, it will have to be scraped off. It's best to use a plastic scraper so as not to damage the glass. This will likely leave a sticky residue which can be removed by using the 'Sticky Stuff Remover' mentioned by someone else. But note: this stuff is good but

Use a hair-dryer to soften it before peeling.

Go back to the dealer and tell hin that you charge, say, 1UKP per week to advertise his garage on your car.

Thanks for all the advice peeps - have just had a good look at it and it is clear plastic with printing on. As the car has been in the sun all day and the glass was warm I picked at a corner and then peeled the thing off in one go ! Result! No more free advertising. Thanks.

They just peel off when new. Its after they have been on a bit it gets hard (literally).

or wait until the car is boiling hot in the sun.

A thread on rec.cars.maintenance about metal ice scrapers came to the conclusion that even brass or stainless steel could be used as long as it had no nicks in it - the glass surface is actually harder than the metal, although obviously more brittle.

Scraping around the heating elements is dodgy with anything, though. Even plastic.

Glad to see the OP could just peel his sticker off in the sun anyway. No need for a scraper.

Then you could have tried that in the first place, couldn't you ...

Remember to keep it, and reapply in the event of a breakdown.

Have you looked at your number plates?

B-) Unfortunatly some of that is a legal requirement.

But not the dealers name surely?

Depends a number plate must be marked with (amongst other things):

• The name, trade mark, or other means of identification of the manufacturer or component supplier. (The company who actually make the number plate.)
• The name and postcode of the supplying outlet. (The 'supplying outlet' is taken to mean a company whose business consists wholly or partly of selling number plates.)

So if the garage/dealer made amd/or supplied the plates their name has to be there.
