if you can get the sticker off some gas on a rag is good for removing adhesive goo.

I used a suggestion posted on this forum to remove the residual glue after I used a hair dryer to to get a college parking sticker off the rear bumper. WD-40 and rub hard. It worked and no apparent effect on the paint.

Try looking fro a product called goo-gone. comes in a tin much like the 3-in-1 oil does, and works like a champ. Most auto parts stores carry it, and I believe I saw it in the automotive section at Wal-Mart as well.

Good luck removing those abominations!

Goo gone should do the trick unless they used super glue. Then you'll need epoxy remover.
