Hair drier or heat gun on low. Then a razor blade to lift an edge and start peeling it as you still use the heat. Most likely will leave ghosting but if your replacing them it won't matter

3M decal eraser if they're checked bad. If they aren't checked too bad the heat gun works. Not so well if they come off in a million pieces.

Likely see a ghost in perpetuity. Can try compounding the adjacent glass.

Thanks. Do you think Goof Off would work to eat the glue? Can I rent a heat gun and do heat guns really work well?

a hair dryer will work. and goop will make a mess of it but will soften the adhesive. I have used the hair dryer and razor blade but as was stated, the ghosts will be there. the decal prevents the gelcoat from fading while the surrounding area fades.

I do have a Harbor Freight and if it's that inexpensive it will be good to buy..... I need to take off my registration numbers & put new, better looking ones on too.

Spray with Goo-Gone after you lift an edge with a razor blade. Let it sit for awhile

3M eraser, but watch the speed on those eraser wheels. Other option is heat gun and razor. Any residual adhesive can be released with WD-40 and plastic straight edge.
