Yes, $15 is that reason. I already have to pay a $25 citation. I do not wish to pay 40 bucks for this whole ordeal. It was an honest mistake that I put it on the front, but of course my college won't give me a break.

Yeah I'm going to try getting some sort of heat onto the decal to loosen the adhesive. I don't have a portable hair dryer but I suspected that would be very effective. Nobody in my family is really handy, so we don't have certain "standard" garage things. We don't even have any flat razor blades around the house. I was also planning on going to the auto supply store to see if they could help me out. Do you think it would be safe to use lighter fluid? I've read that's also pretty useful. I'm just afraid to use it on my car, even though it's only the windshield.

Lol. It's a school parking decal that I need to move to the back windshield instead of the front.

Thanks for the responses. My decal isn't made of the same material as a bumper sticker. It's pretty much a thick piece of paper that's strongly adhered to the glass of my windshield. Would WD-40 still work you think? NOTE: I just came across this video: ... How effective do you think the rubbing alcohol would be on a thicker sticker, or in my case a decal? No reason to think it wouldn't work right? EDIT: Could a lighter work as well? How worried should I be using a lighter on my car windshield?- don't want my car to catch fire lol

Hey guys, I just recently joined the forum. I have a question about a decal. I mistakenly affixed a decal to my front windshield when it had to go on the back. What is the best solvent to use to remove the adhesive and take it off intact so I can move it to the back? I've been told by some to use acetone while others told me not to. Some have told me to use rubbing alcohol while others told me it wouldn't work. Just wanted to ask Chemistry buffs as to which method will work the best. I don't have access to a heat gun or portable hair dryer before someone offers that suggestion Thanks.
