Of course my dealer wants me to do free advertising for them. So my question is what is the best method to remove a vinyl sticker from the back of your car, it is on the left rear side on the piant below the rear window. I dont wanna go scratching up my paint. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated. Oh by the way the sticker has only been on there for a almost two weeks.

If you do not have a heat gun. Let the sun warm up the car and it should peel off easily. :D

i think your talkin' about a sticker and not the xb or scion badge so like ikonXone said... just peel it off and thats the end of that story.

why do they do that back east..Ive seen from plastic plaque drilled into the body to vinyl paint. They might as well just etch it in the window.

That is why its go great that cali uses REMOVEALBE license plate frames...

here is a shameless plug since i took mine off...

Well at Florence Scion, they do double advertising. I had the vinyl sticker as well as a plate frame. Needless to say the plate frame will be gone as soon as my new frame arrives.

i just asked my east coast dealer not to put any thing on my car, and he said fine. Not a big deal

just take it back to the dealer & tell them to remove it, they should do it.
